“A delightful and unusual story. The manner in which the hero’s male solitude is invaded and set right is amusing and eccentric enough to have been devised by the late Frank Stockton. It is a story that is well worth reading.”––New York Sun.
“Is to be counted among the best novels of this entertaining writer ... written with a skilful and delicate touch.”––Springfield Republican.
“In its literary graces, in its portrayal of characters that are never commonplace though genuinely human, and in its development of a singular social situation, the book is one to give delight.”––Philadelphia Press.
