Reviews

<i>Evening Standard</i>
Mr Delderfield's manner is easy, modest, heartwarming
<i> Sunday Mirror</i>
R F Delderfield is a born storyteller
<i>Chicago Tribune</i>
Sheer, wonderful storytelling
<i>Books and Bookmen</i>
It is always a pleasure to read R F Delderfield, because he never seems to be ashamed of writing well
<i>Life Magazine</i>
He built an imposing artistic social history that promises to join those of his great forebears in the long, noble line of the English novel. His narratives belong in a tradition that goes back to John Galsworthy and Arnold Bennett
