Mr Delderfield's manner is easy, modest, heartwarming
R F Delderfield is a born storyteller
Sheer, wonderful storytelling
It is always a pleasure to read R F Delderfield, because he never seems to be ashamed of writing well
He built an imposing artistic social history that promises to join those of his great forebears in the long, noble line of the English novel. His narratives belong in a tradition that goes back to John Galsworthy and Arnold Bennett
