To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It somewhat resembles the conversation of a boy on returning from his holidays. It reveals a perfectly amazing resource in imparting life to mere description. As a writer, du Maurier seemed immediately to acquire a style unlike that of anyone else. Everything is described with a zest that carries the reader along, and this manner is even extended to things that are not worth describing. But he was always slightly apologetic with pen in hand, never permitting him- self the professional air, or g...iving a full challenge to criticism by disclaiming the privileges of a dis- tinguished amateur. In Peter Ibbetson the artist told the story of his io6 GEORGE DU MAURIER childhood ; in Trilby he recounted the brightest period of his Bohemian youth ; in The Martian he records the nature of the shock he received from threatened blindness, and the depression of days before his genius had discovered itself and revealed the prospect of a great career to him. The effect of Pentonville, the grey suburb, and of the absence of worthy com- panions upon a romantic, highly-strung young man in 'Peter Ibbetson is quite autobiographical, as is the description of student life in Paris by which after- wards the uninspiring environment is replaced.
