“A book which ought to become an English classic. It is full of the pure Homeric flavour, and we think we may predict that it will retain its place in our literature.”—Spectator.

“All Mr. Church’s stories are told with rare grace and fidelity.”—Times.

“We can give Mr. Church no higher praise than that he has succeeded in his undertaking. We doubt whether the first and greatest of story-tellers has ever before been so appropriately rendered for children.”—Academy.

“Mr. Church has long since proved himself a ripe and good scholar, though he had not given evidence of the special Homeric insight which this charming volume displays.”—Saturday Review.
