The Pall Mall Gazette—“There is not, indeed, a dull page in all this pleasant volume.... The book is indeed one which it is a pleasure to read because of the amiable light in which it exhibits human nature.... We congratulate Miss Hill upon her narrative of an episode in English history upon which it is possible to look back with feelings of unalloyed satisfaction.”
The Westminster Gazette—“The story ... is skilfully unified and charmingly told.”
The Outlook—“Miss Constance Hill, having executed a capital study of the homes and friends of Jane Austen, has inevitably been tempted to treat Fanny Burney after a similar fashion. She has achieved a readable and—thanks to her sister—admirably illustrated volume, which ranks in every respect with its predecessor.”
The Academy—“Her book is agreeably picturesque and stimulating.”
Truth—“This charming book.”
Le Soleil—“Le livre de miss Constance Hill est une des lectures les plus attachantes qu’on puisse imaginer.”
