"It is distinctly into another world of fancy and humor that the reader steps when he turns the title-page of 'Twelve Stories and a Dream' and finds himself held by the spell of Mr. Wells's wonderful imagination.... Each tale shows Mr. Wells in a mood that is wholly his own, and they each give expression to a diverse fancy that displays exceptional literary skill and ingenuity."—Boston Transcript.
"Mr. Wells's technique is admirable, and one scarcely recalls a better-handled absurdity than 'The Truth About Pyecraft.'"—Life.
"All are written with an effectiveness and skill that are beyond criticism."—New York Times Review.
"Each of these stories is unique and thoroughly enjoyable."—Boston Herald.
