“Well planned, well written, and well named.... Mr. Hope has told these stories with much dramatic power and effect, and has produced a book which will delight all healthy-minded lads.”—Scotsman.
“Stories of all sorts of boys, who in different countries and circumstances, in peace or in war, at school or at work, at home or out in the world, by land or by sea, have gone through experiences worth relating.... The work is just such a volume as we would like to see in the hands of our schoolboys, and of those who are emerging into the busy haunts of business and anxiety.”—Yorkshire Gazette.
“Essentially of an attractive character to the youthful reader, and is, perhaps, as likely to interest the sisters as the brothers.”—Bedford Mercury.

Our Homemade Stories. By Ascott R. Hope, Author of “Stories of Young Adventurers,” etc.
“Mr. Hope throws himself instinctively into his most dramatic incidents from the boys point of view, and is humorous within the limits of their easy appreciation. We own to having laughed aloud over some of his drolleries; nor can anything be much better in this way than the dialogue in ‘My Desert Island.’”—Times.
“Mr. Hope understands boy nature through and through, and can get hold of their attention in a way entirely his own.... All manner of adventures at school, at home, and at sea, are narrated with equal vivacity and good sense.”—Bookseller.
