Beschreibung
Rynd, Evelyne. In the city of under. First edition. London: Edwin Arnold, 1914. Hardback, good, no dustjacket. Blue cloth with gilt lettering and decoration to spine. Covers rubbed with a few small marks and bumped to corners and top and base of spine. Front hinge slightly scuffed. Endpapers tanned. x, 305pp., poems at the beginning and end. Edge of text block slightly duststained and foxed; untrimmed edges. Contents clean and bright. "In this story an unusually fascinating idea is worked up with no little humour and ingenuity. The author imagines that Hermes assumed the shape of a hawker, who helped people to believe that "there's a way out of everything for everybody." It is a pity that some passages read like an imitation of Lewis Carroll's well-known caricatures of incompetence and absent mindedness ; but a happy vein of originality atone for any defect due to uninspired mirth. The story may be recommended for children, inasmuch as it relates how a child lifted himself and his family out of poverty by the good fortune attending his effort to obtain employment; but many "grown -ups" with a taste for fantasy will welcome it as a change from more probable, but not more serious fiction" (The Athenaeum).
