Through all the play of fancy, the wit and humour,
the swift transitions, the caprice and jesting, that ultimate
sincerity shines; and it is that which lights Mr. Beerbohm's fine
taste and knowledge of his craft to beauty.'
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: `As an artist whose medium is the essay, Mr. Max
Beerbohm should stand for this generation as Lamb stands for the first
generation of the nineteenth century.'
THE DAILY NEWS: `He has wit, and charm, and good humour--and these are
the qualities which characterise this completely delightful volume of
essays.'
THE MORNING LEADER: `Max sees himself in a hundred different ways. In
any capacity he is unique. He remains our best essayist.'
THE OBSERVER: `Charles Lamb a` la Max is never obtrusive. It is only
the ghost of him that stalks in and about. We soon fall away from the
reminiscence; and the caricaturist becomes a personality.'
Mr. Sidney Dark in THE DAILY EXPRESS: `Max is always delightful in his
dainty, leisurely tolerance of everybody and everything. No other
living writer could have produced "Yet Again." It is individual--and
thoroughly good to read.'
THE EVENING STANDARD: `Mr. Beerbohm is always in holiday mood; and
this we gradually catch from him. We begin by enjoying him; we end by
enjoying life and ourselves.
