Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Undine: The Water Spirit and Her Loyal Knight
It maybe both interesting and serviceable to the youth ful reader Who is about to peruse Undine for the first time to have its special merits pointed out. The composition is marked in general by extreme grace and delicacy of style, alike in its substance of sentiment and in its form of expression. As the scenes of the story pass before us, the natural phenomena in which they are set - forest and lake and stream and sky and clouds and stars are painted with such a breathing skill and reality as to fix our attention, move our affections, and make us deeper lovers of nature than before.
