Of these stories the Boston “Transcript” says: “Few series of juvenile books appeal more strongly to children than the ‘Jolly Good Times’ Series, written by Mary P. Wells Smith. The naturalness of the stories, their brightness, their truth to boy and girl life and character, and the skill with which the author manages incident and dialogue, have given them deserved popularity.”
It is Mrs. Smith’s happy ability to take the incidents of child-life,—such a life as any child of bright mind and sweet character, blessed with the surroundings of a good home, might have,—and to record them with such faithfulness to the child’s character, and yet with such charm in the narrative, as to make them engagingly interesting to other children.—Gazette and Courier, Greenfield, Mass.
