The Sportsman.—“The warm and lengthy praise we gave to the companion volume ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland’ might be repeated. They should have a place in every sportsman’s library; nay, in far more, for the piquancy of the style, and the charming friendliness of it all, enthral the reader.”
The Field.—“The story is told by Miss Herbert with all the free and joyous spirit which characterised her former volume; the same love of exploration, admiration for the beauty in nature, keenness for sport, and withal a womanly restraint and tender-heartedness.”
Country Life.—“Miss Herbert’s hand has lost nothing of its sprightliness, she describes graphically and with never failing nerve many exciting hunts. It is to the full as daring and lively as the Somaliland volume.”
Vanity Fair.—“The most fascinating sporting book I have read this year, and quite the best written. In a dozen ways I found the book captivating. Miss Herbert’s success is as emphatic in book-making as in hunting.”
The Academy.—“We commend ‘Two Dianas in Alaska’ to many readers . . . an amusing and picturesque journey. Scenery is powerfully described, and so are the effects of light and shade and the flight of birds. But the ways of the moose provide the most attractive reading of all.”
The Daily Telegraph.—“This is a delightful book, of equal interest to the sportsman and the general reader. Light and bright are the pages. We heartily recommend this book to all readers. It is all admirable.”
Ladies’ Field.—“Not less delightful than ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland.’ If anyone turns aside from this book because he or she is indifferent to sport they will lose some very pleasant hours. It is a charming book, and has not a dull page in it from first to last.”
Daily Graphic.—“The whole book is amazing good reading. The best book of sport and travel that we have seen this season.”
Yorkshire Post.—“This is a book of high spirits, mixed with philosophy. In these prosaic days a romance from real life is not to be resisted.”
The Queen.—“Very entertaining reading. It must not be thought that the work is entirely devoted to hunting, the scenery, places, and human beings are also described in very happy fashion.”
