Edward Verrall Lucas : Mr. Ingleside

'Sunday 17th. Am pretty sure I will get back to the Battalion soon. Went to St. Pol, had lunch, bought some books. Stopped a staff car, and got back to Aubigny for tea. Shifted into a fine comfortable hut with a fire. Finished "Mr Ingleside".'

Edward Verrall Lucas : unknown

'The books you sent me lasted beautifully. I read the two Lucases (which I loved) and the Hutchinson (mediocre) in the train and am now deep in Ariel which is delightful. After that I can get books on board.'

Edward Verrall Lucas : Cloud and Silver

'Weather very dud, nothing doing, might as well be at home.
After breakfast I spread myself out in front of our new open fire in the hut, and read pretty steadily on to about 3 in the afternoon—E. V. Lucas's new book.'

Edward Verrall Lucas : The Open Road, a Book for Wayfarers

'I remember reading in a book called "The open Road" an extract from Hewlett's "Pan and the Young Shepherd" which I thought splendid. Thanks to our Galahad's detestable handwriting I can't tell whether your book is the "Lore" or the "Love" of P. In any case I have never heard of it before, but, from your description, am very eager to read it.'
