 <!-- Classics of Weird Literature Autographed by the Author The Wind That Tramps the World The Purple Sea ACCLAIMED BY CRITICS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD New York Times: "Fanciful, touched by the super¬ natural, exotic in thought and coloring. Flowers, poems, music and jade are interwoven with their themes and the effect is often both quaint and charming.” The China Weekly Review, Shanghai, China: "Reveals a true sense of gentleness, the heart of a dreamer, a deep sense of rhythm and beauty. He sees China and the Chinese through misty, naive, sometimes philo¬ sophic eyes.” Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Honolulu, Hawaii: "They are strange and glowing tales of an unearthly beauty. Their scenes are laid in China but they might be anywhere. They are essentially a part of the history of those lost lands where Dunsany’s heroes live and die magnificently and where Walter de la Mare’s dark travelers knock vainly at mysterious moonlit doors.” Ohio State Journal, Columbus, Ohio: "There is some weirdness here, some mystery and some tender passages, enough of each to make a superlative ensemble that won for this author a secure place in the field of Far East fiction.” Daily Argus Leader, Sioux Balls, S. D.: "This is a collection to be read, laid down and read again.” Wilmington Every Evening, Wilmington, Del.: "De¬ serves a place among one’s favorite books.” Radio Station KDKA, Pittsburgh : "For those who are interested in Chinese literature and traditions, we believe this book will find a cordial welcome. A very beautiful book.” The Globe, Toronto, Ont.: "Dealing with curious phases of Chinese life, they are imaginative, colorful and replete with poetry. For the first of these qualities they might be likened to some of the creations of Edgar Allan Poe, but even the weirdest of them possess a tenderness to which Poe was a stranger.” Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Ariz.: "It is not often that such a book, as deserving of praise and as full of real literary merit as "The Wind That Tramps the World,” comes our way. This sounds like effusiveness, but it isn’t. It’s merely giving credit for a real literary achievement. . . . They are masterpieces of a rich imagination, deep and gripping in their beauty and romance.” SPECIAL AUTOGRAPHED FIRST EDITIONS Here are some real gems of literature.
