"It is distinctly the best Christmas book of the season."—Daily Mail.
"When we say it is one of the most delightful stories about children we have ever read, we are still short of the mark."—Daily Chronicle.
"In every way excellently got up."—Christian.
"In this excellent book for children, which the elders will enjoy, Mr. Crockett comes right away from kailyard into a kingdom of obstreperous fancy, and is purely, delightfully funny, and not too Scotch. The wit of this feat of fancy, which cannot be described, and does not belong to any order of juvenile literature, unless we take Mr. Crockett as the founder of one, is over the heads of children in many instances, but they do not know it.... Mr. Gordon Browne's illustrations are as good a treat as the story; they realise every thought and intention of the writer, and are full of a sly and characteristic drollery all the artist's own."—World.
