"Delightful sketches and stories."—Times.
"Written in a leisurely style, and possessing a certain elusive atmospheric style of their own.... There is charm here, and that of a kind not often to be found in modern fiction.... 'The Island of Tranquil Delights' should be read."—Standard.
"Altogether charming.... It is a book for quiet half-hours."—Daily Mail.
"A delightful book—more than fascinating. After having read the book for the stories, one reads it again for the style."—Travellers' Magazine.
"A collection of idealistic sketches.... The author conveys the languorous beauty of the region very vividly, and the book is attractive for the contrast that it offers to the familiar ways of civilisation."—Morning Post.
