"M. P. Willcocks is an English writer of unusual force and that dry, incisive humor dearly beloved of the intellectual reader. In 'The Way Up' this writer crystallizes a tense and telling problem. The book is earnest enough for the most serious of readers, yet never dull or dreary. The humanization is admirable."—Chicago Record-Herald.

"Miss Willcocks shows the wit of Barrie in close alliance with the bold realism of Thomas Hardy and the philosophic touches of George Meredith."—Literary World, London.

"Striking studies of character and grace of charm and style."—New York Sun.

"Such books are worth keeping on the shelves, even by the classics, for they are painted in colors which do not fade."—London Times.

"A most remarkable novel which places the author in the first rank. This is a novel built to last."—The Outlook.

"A book worth keeping on the shelves, even by the classics, for it is painted in colors which do not fade."—The Times.

"It is an excellent thing for any reader to come across this book."—Standard.

"A splendid book."—Tribune.

"Far above the general level of contemporary fiction. A work of unusual power."—Professor William Lyon Phelps.
