ABOUT BOOK

"A sympathetic reading of the whole will convince almost anybody that 'Young Barbarians' is one of the finest literary products of the year. The charm of Ian Maclaren's writing is as intangible as the perfume of the rose. There is a union of robustness and tenderness, of laughter and tears of human nature and literary art, that one finds nowhere else... It is a wholesome, kindly, red-blooded, human book, which any one will be the merrier and the sweeter spirited for reading." --The Chicago Record-Herald
