Book Description:
Dit boek van Mythe, Legende en Fantazie is een meesterwerk van verdichting - een fijn ciseleerwerk in het zware brons der Nederlandsche taal, een boek van Latijnsch vernuft, waarin de Romaansche teerheid door de stoere Noordertaal niets van haar innigheid en preciositeit verliest. Ellen Fores. (Uit: Den Gulden Winckel 17 (1918)
