"A series of essays grouped under three headings: Persons, Plays, and Places. As dramatic critic on the Manchester Guardian his interest in, and knowledge of, the theatre goes without saying. As a sharp and ironic observer of human nature and as a lover of scene and place, he is always interesting and stimulating to read. But it is as a writer of marked wit and originality that he is making himself a reputation which the publication of Preludes and Studies is sure to confirm and extend."
