SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF
Kensington Rhymes
By COMPTON MACKENZIE
SATURDAY REVIEW:
“These are particularly jolly rhymes, that any really good sort of a chap, say a fellow of about ten would like. Mr. J. R. Monsell’s pictures are exceptionally jolly too.... If we may judge by ourselves, not only the children, but the grown-ups of the family will be enchanted by this quite delightful and really first-rate book.”
DAILY MAIL:
“Among the picture-books of the season, pride of place must go to Mr. Compton Mackenzie’s ‘Kensington Rhymes.’ They are full of quiet humour and delicate insight into the child-mind.”
OBSERVER:
“Far the best rhymes of the year are ‘Kensington Rhymes,’ by Compton Mackenzie, almost the best things of the kind since the ‘Child’s Garden of Verse.’”
ATHENÆUM:
“Will please children of all ages, and also contains much that will not be read without a sympathetic smile by grown-ups possessed of a sense of humour.”
TIMES:
“The real gift of child poetry, sometimes almost with a Stevensonian ring.”
