"'Kitwyk' is the daintiest morsel of idyllic fiction we have had since Mr. Barrie opened that wonderful window in 'Thrums.' Few books are so exquisitely wrought; so cunningly polished."—Mr. James Douglas in The Star.
"The Dutch kingdom is enchanting, and Mrs. John Lane's charming book will help to make the fact more widely known."—Gentlewoman.
"We have only faintly indicated what a vein of jest and humour Mrs. John Lane possesses."—The Echo.
"This is a most graceful and altogether charming Dutch version of Auld Licht Idylls. If such a village and such people, and such quaint causes of laughter and of tears do indeed exist, then Kitwyk were well worth visiting, but the next best thing is to read Mrs. John Lane's prettily bound and illustrated little volume."—Scotsman.
