Trade Review
Review s of the First Edition:
"Walker has rendered a valuable service in his painstaking collection. . . . The result is a remarkably comprehensive view of London, 'the writer's writer.'"—American Literary Realism
"A remarkable collection. . . . This is a firsthand look at a writer's honest and forthright opinions on his craft."—Los Angeles Times
"This book is a pleasure for anyone interested in London or in the rapidly changing world of writing and publishing in the early twentieth century."—American Literature
"An absorbing account of how hard the writer worked to learn his craft. . . . We find a master prose stylist concerned with problems of slectivity and concrete issues of tone, form, atmosphere, and point of view."—Modern Philology
