THE PEARL OF THE ANTILLES; The Artist in Cuba. By Walter Goodman. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.

“A good-sized volume, delightfully vivid and picturesque.... Several chapters devoted to the characteristics of the people are exceedingly interesting and remarkable.... The whole book deserves the heartiest commendation ... sparkling and amusing from beginning to end. Reading it is like rambling about with a companion who is content to loiter, observing everything, commenting upon everything, turning everything into a picture, with a cheerful flow of spirits, full of fun, but far above frivolity.”—Spectator.

“He writes very lightly and pleasantly, and brightens his pages with a good deal of humour. His experiences were varied enough, and his book contains a series of vivid and miscellaneous sketches. We can recommend his whole volume as very amusing reading.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“Both sportsmen and naturalists will find this work replete with anecdote and carefully-recorded observation, which will entertain them.”—Nature.

“Written in a very lively style, and has throughout a smack of dry humour and satiric reflection which shows the writer to be a keen observer of men and things. We hope that many will read it and find in it the same amusement as ourselves.”—Times.
