Some Press Opinions
Mr Sterling MacKinlay has written a charming account of the great contralto. He has written his book in a light and interesting vein, and has so much to tell, so many good stories to repeat, that it is sure of a large reading public. — Daily Chronicle.
Told with sympathy and moderation, enlivened by anecdote and humour. — Tribune.
A delightful book of reminiscences. — Daily Mail.
Written with refreshing candour, well worth reading. — Spectator.
A delightful book. It is brightened with anecdotes of all kinds, while the record of its principal subject is as impressive as it is interesting. — Truth.
Interesting reading of the kind so entertaining, illustrated with good portraits: brightly written: will doubtless find a wide circle of admirers. — Standard.
The easy, chatty style of the book, the descriptive touches, the fund of anecdote, the artless and spontaneous narrations of the great singer herself, all contribute to make the volume attractive. Nowhere is there anything heavy or dull. — Birmingham Post.
