Reviews

• Edward J. O'Brien in The Best Short Stories of 1920; and the Yearbook of the American Short Story (1921):

I have called attention to many of these stories in previous years, but now that they are reprinted as a group I must reaffirm my belief that few among the younger English short story writers have such a command of dramatic finality as Miss Wylie. It is true that these stories might have been told with advantage in a more quiet tone. This would have made the war stories more memorable, but perhaps the problem which the book presents for solution is whether or no an instinctive dramatist is using the wrong literary medium. Certainly in "'Melia, No Good" her treatment would have been less effective in a play than in a short story.
