"An entertaining story.... A clever, humorous and thoroughly enjoyable book."—Scotsman.
"A fascinating book.... From beginning to end it is delightfully fresh and vigorous; the vignettes of Cornish life and character are quaint and humorous; and the snatches of unsophisticated philosophy, not without a dash of subtlety, are as amusing as they are original.... Nothing so deliciously witty as John Trehill's courtship has been written of late, and another story from the author's pen will be awaited with the keenest pleasure and interest."—Dundee Advertiser.
"The story, simple and homely in its nature, is told with a humour and abandon that makes the book most delightful reading."—Glasgow Daily Mail.
"The book is one to read, having the blessed quality of making you chuckle: the best of qualities in literature, one is inclined to say, in these tired days."—Black and White.
