J. B. MORTON.

"A faithful image of certain enduring human characteristics, affection, comradeship, simple endeavour.... Mr. Morton has written with a refreshing simplicity."—The Times.

"A direct tale, grim, humorous, shrewd by turns, instinct with right feeling throughout ... art is also brought to it by Mr. Morton, whose hand is almost unfailingly sure and sincere."—The Morning Post.

"It is one of the best novels which has been written about the war."—The Globe.

"There is a simple directness of observation and description and a quiet breath of feeling about this story ... that give it a distinction of its own."—The Westminster Gazette.

"I own that I began The Barber of Putney with much doubt and misgiving. But before I had gone far I found myself held by a description ... as good as anything of the kind I have ever seen. Curly, the 'old sweat,' the Mons man, is an excellent portrait. Tim's adventure with the German sniper, whom he bayonets, is admirably described.... The retreat is given in a very vivid and credible way; and the scenes out of the line and in billets are equally good.... Mr. Morton has written an excellent and readable book."—Land and Water.

"A fine piece of work."—The Birmingham Post.
