"""Satire is always implicit in the reworking of an old story or a moribund genre. But in A Bloodsmoor Romance it is explicit: The unself-consciously plotted events are presented in a tone newly animated by the philosophical and political point of view. And the whole work is enlivened by a great deal of lore about life in the 19th century...Even those who find balloon abductions thin should be satisfied by this richness of detail."" -- New York Times ""Readers with a taste for whimsical historical-novel sendups will find this mildly, thickly entertaining."" -- Kirkus Reviews"
