“The second series of ‘Saxe Holm’s Stories’ well sustains the interest which has made the name of the author a subject of discussion with literary gossips, and won the admiration of intelligent readers for such attractive specimens of pure and wholesome fiction.”—New York Tribune.
“The second series is an elegant volume, and contains some of the best of the stories, notably the exquisite, ‘A Four-Leaved Clover,’ which is sufficient of itself to make the reputation of any story-writer. * * * The four other stories are all good, and all marked by that peculiar realism and tenderness combined, which give these stories a distinct place in American fiction.”—Hartford Courant.
“The simplicity which marks Saxe Holm’s use of dialect is something which is difficult to describe. It pleases us in the reading, but escapes our critical grasp like a sunbeam. This is particularly observable in the first of these tales which comprise the second series of her stories.”—New York Mail.
“Whoever is the author, she is certainly entitled to the high credit of writing stories which charm by their sweetness, impress by their power, and hold attention by their originality.”—Albany Argus.
