“Rob is a gallant laddie, and Muckle John a tantalising, elusive hero. We should like the author to have disclosed the real name of the Highland robber in the end! But we forgive him his reticence for the general pleasure his book has afforded us.”—The Record.
“Just the right thing for young people. It is charged with adventure, treachery, and excitement.... Muckle John is a fine, bold creation, whose personality dominates the book.”—Saturday Review.
“This is a quite exceptional book, which is worthily enhanced by exceptional coloured illustrations by Mr. Allan Stewart.”—Daily News.
