SPECTATOR.—“Wholly delightful volume.... These folk-tales are rich in the qualities of poetry, wit, and intelligence, and though the part which Miss Hunt has played is not that of a creator, her versions are marked by such unfailing charm, such happy and characteristic turns of phrase, that she deserves to rank with those musicians like Francis Korbay, who have lent fresh lustre to folk tunes by the beauty and picturesqueness of their settings.”

MORNING POST.—“As a faithful mirror of Bengali beliefs by no means extinct, they can be cordially recommended to lovers of supernatural romance. Mr. Warwick Goble has provided them also with charming illustrations, in which the lines and folds of Eastern drapery, the blues and greens of forests and skies, together with the dignity and simplicity of the figures, make up an enchantment which few will be able to resist.”
