"Eddison's books are written in a meticulously recreated Jacobean prose style, seeded throughout with fragments, often acknowledged but often directly copied from his favorite authors and genres: Homer and Sappho, Shakespeare and Webster, Norse sagas and French medieval lyric poems. Critic Andy Sawyer has noted that such fragments seem to arise naturally from the "barbarically sophisticated" worlds Eddison has created. [11] The books exhibit a thoroughly aristocratic sensibility; heroes and villains alike maintain an Olympian indifference to convention. Fellow fantasy author Michael Moorcock wrote that Eddison's characters, particularly his villains, are more vivid than Tolkien's." (from Wikipedia).

She was frequently featured in early Hitchcock films, such as Blackmail (1929), Juno and the Paycock (1930) and Sabotage (1936). Allgood was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in 1941 for her role as Beth Morgan in the 1941 film How Green Was My Valley, but lost to Mary Astor. She also had memorable roles in the 1941 retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, It Happened in Flatbush (1942), Jane Eyre (1943), The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), The Spiral Staircase (1946), The Fabulous Dorseys (1947) and the original Cheaper by the Dozen (1950)."

Corners a bit rubbed, xiii, 263 pp. Introduction by Padraic Colum. James Stephens was an Irish novelist and poet who "brought a fresh and distinctive element into the new Irish literature, an imaginative exuberance that expresses itself in an extravagance of wit, loveliness, and picturesqueness. His writings reveal a prodigality of humor, intuition, and searching thought - and something else, which is even rarer, a deep sense of democracy, a sense of the spiritual equality of all men and women. 'Mary, Mary' is one of his best and most delightful stories. The scene is the gray-colored, friendly capitol Dublin, with its great gray clouds and its poising sea-birds, with its hills and its bay, with its streets that everyone would avoid, and with its other streets that everyone promenades; with its greens and its park and its river-walks - the always friendly Dublin, as seen through the understanding eyes of James Stephens.
