_Morning Post._--“It is easily the most surprising story of the escape of prisoners of war which has yet appeared.... No more effective exposure of the methods of the medium has ever been written.... This book is indeed an invaluable reduction to absurdity of the claims of the spiritualist coteries.”
_Daily Telegraph._--“This is one of the most realistic, grimmest, and at the same time most entertaining, books ever given to the public.... ‘The Road to En-dor’ is a book with a thrill on every page, is full of genuine adventure.... Everybody should read it.”
_Times._--“Astounding.... Of great value.”
_Punch._--“The most extraordinary war-tale which has come my way.”
_Birmingham Post._--“The story of surely the most colossal ‘fake’ of modern times.”
_Daily Graphic._--“The most amazing story of the war.”
_Outlook._--“It deserves to become a classic.”
_Evening News._--“The tale of the two lieutenants is perhaps the noblest example of the game and fine art of spoof that the world has ever seen, or ever will see ... their wonderful and almost monstrous elaboration ... an amazing story.”
_Bystander._--“The book reads like the wildest romance.”
_Glasgow Evening News._--“An absolutely fresh, unexpected, and inimitable true story of what we fancy is the greatest spoof of the Great War.”
_Everyman._--“One of the most amazing tales that we have ever read. The gradual augmentation of the spook’s power is one of the most preposterous, the most laughable histories in the whole literature of spoofing. Lieut. Jones has given us a wonderful book--even a great book.”
_New Statesman._--“This amazing story is told in great detail, but never tedious.”
JOHN LANE, THE BODLEY HEAD, VIGO ST., W. 1
_Westminster Gazette._--“‘The Silence of Colonel Bramble’ is the best composite character sketch I have seen to show France what the English gentleman at war is like ... much delightful humour.... It is full of good stories.... The translator appears to have done his work wonderfully well.”
_Daily Telegraph._--“This book has enjoyed a great success in France, and it will be an extraordinary thing if it is not equally successful here.... Those who do not already know the book in French will lose nothing of its charm in English form. The humours of the mess-room are inimitable.... The whole thing is real, alive, sympathetic; there is not a false touch in all its delicate, glancing wit.... One need not be a Frenchman to appreciate its wisdom and its penetrating truth.”
