KATE SANBORN says:

"The moment such a volume is taken up the pleasant spell acts upon eyes and finger-tips, and one likes the book before it is read."

THE ACADEMY (London):

"Reading on, we find ourselves in the presence of a whimsical, humorous, cultured, and very womanly woman, with a pleasant, old-fashioned liking for homeliness and simplicity; with a wise husband, three merry babies, a few friends, a gardener, an old German house to repose in, an agreeable literary gift, and a slight touch of cynicism. Such is Elizabeth. It is a charming book."
