A play such as only the author of "Nan" could have written. Tense in situation and impressive in its poetry it conveys Masefield's genius in the handling of the dramatic form.

The place of Mr. Masefield as a dramatist has been amply proved by the plays which he has published hitherto. In the realm of the one-act play he is seen to quite as good effect as in the longer work, and this volume ranks with his best.
