“Bawbee Jock is doing well in the United States. Someone writing about it to the American publishers (the Putnams) the other day said: ‘I believe you have another Rosary. It is one of the most charming love stories I have read for many a year.’ It will, of course, have to find thousands and thousands of readers to reach The Rosary figures."—The Bookseller.
“It is a grand good story, of the best possible sort, as regards local colour and human interests, artistic treatment, exceptional occurrences and sympathetic surprises, and with the glow and fervour of sweet love running through its pages."—The Boston Times, July 14th, 1911.
“There are so many fine tender passages ... the book is like breathing strong refreshing air. A tale of love, ‘tender and true,’ delightfully narrated."—New York Evening Sun.
“It is an admirable story, with much clever characterisation."—Truth.
“Written with great freshness and not a little sentiment."—Spectator.
“Miss McLaren has rare gifts for character drawing—her talents have been used to the full in the pages of what is an attractive human story."—Scotsman.
“A sweetly simple love tale ... Jock and Angela are nobler than most of us would be."—Daily Chronicle.
