REGINALD

“He is a delightful person.  One wouldnot like a rich and octogenarian uncle to suppose that Reginaldwas one’s ideal of conduct and conversion.  Yet thereis sometimes reason in his paradoxical frivolities, and justicein his practical performances.”—MorningPost.

“The book, by reason of its sustained brilliance, may belikened to a Brock’s Benefit at the CrystalPalace.”—Athenæum.

“Mr. H. H. Munro (‘Saki’) has one of thelightest and most entertaining touches of the humorists of theday . . .  The book is admirable comedy and free from maliceand bad taste.”—Queen.

“We feel sure that those who have already madeReginald’s acquaintance will be glad to renew it, and thatthose who know him not will not regret it if they add him to thelist of their fictitious (albeit very real) acquaintances, not tosay friends.”—Westminster Gazette.
