The Lost Valley
by Algernon Blackwood
"In one of the stories, 'The Wendigs,' the author gives us, perhaps, one
of the most successful excursions into the grimly weird; quietly but
surely he makes his reader come under the influence of the eerie, until
the pages are half-reluctantly turned under the spell of a fearful
fascination. Mr. Blackwood writes like a real artist."--_Daily
Telegraph_.
"The book of a remarkably gifted writer."--_Daily News_.
"The stories are unforgettable. Through them all, too, runs the charm of
an accomplished style. . . . Mr. Blackwood has indeed done well."--_Pall
Mall Gazette_.
"Whether concerned with beauty or terror, fact or fancy, there is an
individuality in Mr. Blackwood's work which cannot be ignored, and there
is also power which proceeds, we think, not so much from the fertility
of a comprehensive imagination, but from the amazing conviction of the
author's power of expression, and a literary quality rarely met with in
contemporary stories of mystery and imagination.
