“A FRESH AND CHARMING NOVEL.”The Last Lady of Mulberry.A Story of Italian New York. ByHenry Wilton Thomas. Illustrated by Emil Pollak. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.“By far the most complete and satisfying description that has been given of life in the Italian quarter of New York.... Incidentally a very good novel, reasonable in its purpose and character drawing, intricate in plot, and dramatic in its action.”—Philadelphia Times.“A breezy book. It ‘goes’ from start to finish, and the action moves in a rich atmosphere, albeit that of the poorest of New York’s alien colonies.... The best study of Italian life in New York, and of its special environment that has ever been drawn.”—New York Herald.“Through a very cleverly contrived course of events the complex life of the colony shines out in most resplendent proportions.... The story is an exceedingly clever piece of humorous writing.”—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.“The author has evidently made a close study of the Italian quarter and its people and customs, and has utilized his knowledge to best advantage.”—Denver Republican.“Character drawing and humor of an excellent quality.”—Rochester Herald.“Richly humorous, ‘The Last Lady of Mulberry’ is one of the most enjoyable little romances we have recently read. It presents a picture of the Little Italy known in all our larger cities in a way that is more effective than any number of serious dissertations.”—Providence News.
