Daily News.—“A very bright and breezy little story, wholesome and amusing.”
Athenæum.—“May be heartily recommended. A really ingenious story, and provides quite pleasurable excitement, while throughout the book runs a vein of facetious humour which will make it doubly welcome.”
Echo.—“A very sprightly tale, which, despite the extravagance of its leading motive, is full of humour—good humour and human nature.”
Daily Telegraph.—“The author of the unquestionably humorous and conspicuously successful ‘Pottle Papers’ has given the novel-reading public another ‘taste of his quality’ in this fantastic story.… The element of surprise predominates throughout this eminently entertaining narrative; unexpectedness is the essential characteristic of all its more salient incidents, comical or tragical; its dialogue sparkles with genuine, irresistible fun.”
Spectator.—“Mr Tristram Coutts has a genuine gift of humour, and his account of the chequered courtship of a young London clerk is enlivened with many hilarious touches. The account of the household of Mr Merridew, the irrepressible, if impecunious, optimist who named all his numerous progeny after famous commanders and authors, is really delightful.”
