"All who either know the Channel Islands or love a full-blooded, exciting story, should speedily make the acquaintance of Carette."—Pall Mall Gazette.
"No one who likes tales of adventure—and who does not—could wish for a better tale than this. It is of Sark, in the beginning of last century, when its people were peaceable and law-abiding, save on the question of 'free trade' and when privateering was a legitimate business; so naturally adventurers were more easily come by than in conventional days like these. The youth who tells the tale, one Philip Carré by name, comes by them all too easily for his liking. He is scarcely out of one peril before he is into another, and quite split-hairbreadth are his escapes from the Terrible Torode of Herm. And it is all on account of Carette, charming Carette, the pride of the island, and worth many dangers to win."—Daily Chronicle.
