THE LAY ANTHONY
A ROMANCE OF YOUNG LOVE
ByJOSEPH HERGESHEIMER
Insteadof trying to describe this book, I prefer to tell you why I am publishing it.
Chiefly because I believe that “The Lay Anthony” is a fine piece of work. To me it has in some measure the great qualities of Meredith’s “Richard Feverel.”
One reader’s report was in part as follows: “I announce to you a great book; a book beautiful, noble, thrilling. It has held my feebleness awake all night and left me tingling so I can scarce write steadily ... could anyone, any normal person, read it coldly? No, it has the grip, the thrill.”
And from my second reader: “A truly remarkable book ... the romance of young love handled with distinction and grace.” This man thought it too good to sell. Then I read “The Lay Anthony” and knew that it must be published.
A fourth reader, as enthusiastic as any of the others, is convinced that the bookwillsell; he feels that readers will be quick to take advantage of an exciting story, well told, that happens in addition to have two perfectly stunning heroines as well as to possess many of the qualities of great literature.
