"Maarten Maartens took us all by storm some time ago with his fine story christened 'God's Fool.' He 

 established himself at once in our affections as a unique creature who had something to say and knew how to 

 say it in the most fascinating way. He is a serious story writer, who sprang into prominence when he first put 

 his pen to paper, and who has ever since kept his work up to the standard of excellence which he raised in the 

 beginning." — New York Herald.
