THE BOOK OF THE SERPENT
Original, piquant, delicately cynical. . . . The story of Creation, the theory of evolution, and the main points of worldly wisdom are satirized with a gentle deftness that neither rouses to wrath nor yet exciteth to laughter, but touches us and makes us smile and think. . . . There is no denying that at times this little book wears the astonishing aspect of an individual creation of a world-myth. . . . A unique morsel of sly humor for the elect.—New York Times.
EVE
An epic of the beginning and the end,—too serious in its solemn, slow music to give us humor, too intent upon its revelation to place its message in other than what will appear to the layman occult terms. It is the voice dimly heard of the higher urge that stirs woman, the thing that we miscall feminism, the groping toward certain nobler races now dimly imagined.—Review of Reviews.
CANDLE FLAME
Delicate as a moonstone set in silver. . . . Katharine Howard has, above all things, originality, and to this she adds a poetic mysticism and a tricksy sense of humor—elements which at first seem incompatible. That she enjoys her own philosophies and whimsies is ever evident. The reader perceives a rich and singular personality through the mist of this delicate occultism, this iridescent humor, this evasive loveliness of broken verse.—Elia W. Peattie in Chicago Tribune.
