Synopsis
Shows most clearly that he has the supreme story-tellers gift of a vigorous, resourceful and geniunely creative imagination. Not only so; but it is out of sight the ablest and richest story of a gamin life that has appeared in our time – the story that recalls most readily ‘Oliver Twist’ and ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame.’ What is most notable in ‘Cleg Kelly’, is the fact that its keynote is the joy in living. It is boyishly roistering and philanthropic at the same time. It paints the very blackest things in city life, and is radiantly optimistic. It carries the reader along, full of sympathy from the first page to the last. It is a throroughly good and interesting novel. The Galloway Collection is a wholly new edited version of the works of S.R.Crockett, not a reprinted facsimile or a scanned copy. Ayton Publishing Limited is committed to achieving a high production standard at a reasonable price. The original conventions of punctuation and style have been kept where appropriate but each volume has been individually edited, typeset, proofed and produced to modern standards and includes an original introduction by series editor Cally Phillips.
