Morning Post.—"Bright and thoroughly amusing. It will please all children. The pictures are excellent."
Echo.—"Of the pile (of children's books) before us, Mr Adair Fitz-Gerald's 'Grand Panjandrum' is the cleverest. Mr Fitz-Gerald needs no introduction to the nursery of these days."
Times.—"Very fanciful."
Church News.—"This is one of the most delightful books of nonsense we have read since we welcomed 'The Wallypug of Why.'"
Scotsman.—"Will make the eyes of readers open wide with wonder and delight."
Lloyd's.—"Will amuse all children lucky enough to get this neat and pretty volume."
Pall Mall Gazette.—"A charming little book. Simply written, and therefore to be comprehended of the youthful mind. It will be popular, for the writer has a power of pleasing which is rare."
Literary World.—"A handsomely bound, mouth-watering, in every way up-to-date volume, written especially for and on behalf of the toddler or the newly breeched."
People.—"A delightful story for children, something in the style of 'Alice in Wonderland,' but also having some flavour of Kingley's 'Water Babies.'"
Sun.—"Good fairy stories are a source of everlasting joy and delight. Mr Adair Fitz-Gerald breaks fresh ground and writes pleasantly.... The book has the added advantage of being charmingly illustrated in colour by Gustave Darré."
