'Just now I am reading a most excellent & very English novel, 'Lying Prophets', by Eden Phillpotts. I have lately got rather chummy with Phillpotts & he is a grand chap, though suffering from a total ignorance of French literature.'
'Have you read Phillpotts? Children of the Mist? It is a great book.'
'I have perused his [Eden Philpott's] agreeable verse in February Pall Mall Mag. I think that while Halkett has done very well with the illustrations he has gone very much off in his fiction department.'
