“Fantasy, romance, adventure; something of mystery, something of the supernatural; a weaving together of ancient legends, older by far than any historical records, with the scientific knowledge of the present day; and side by side with these, yet far above and mastering them, the power of human love and willing self-sacrifice, the whole held together by a shimmering, glistening web of imagination—such, insofar as words of ours can briefly describe it, is this fascinating romance of ‘The Moon Pool’. “ — The New York Times Book Review, November 23, 1919
