"Mr. Benson's latest novel, 'The Challoners,' is probably the best thing he has done so far. In 'The Challoners' his happiest faculty, that of putting smart society on paper, is shown to its best advantage. He is at home with English people, and when he attempts to picture the heights and depths of a father's despair when he sees his children taking what is to him a plunge into moral perdition, his work is deft and true and commendably sincere. An entertaining, well-written story, with deep feeling in it."--Chicago Record-Herald.
"'The Challoners' is conceived upon a plane that lifts it immediately to the highest rank in fiction. One has to recall the works of Dickens, Thackeray, and Reade to find a production of equal dignity and grasp. Indeed, there is much in it that will bear comparison with George Eliot's performances. It is impossible to read it without realizing the great burden that oppresses the clergyman who sees his son and daughter departing from the practices and rules he in his sufficiency has laid down to govern them."--The Index.

"The author of 'Dodo' has written a 'thriller.' It is a spiritualistic story. Mr. Benson sets part of his story in the East, and part in London, and tells it in a manner to keep the reader wide awake and interested to the end."--Globe, New York.
"Spiritualism, hypnotism, demoniac possession, white and black magic, Oriental theosophy--all are found among the component parts of this tale. Thedenouementis decidedly original and highly imaginative. Decidedly, 'The Image in the Sand' will not fail to make a strong appeal to every one who has any love for the marvellous and the unknown--or who appreciates a very well-written story."--Brooklyn Eagle.

"'The Duchess' has well deserved the title of being one of the most fascinating novelists of the day. The stories written by her are the airiest, lightest, and brightest imaginable; full of wit, spirit, and gayety, yet containing touches of the most exquisite pathos. There is something good in all of them."--
