"Full of inimitable pictures."—Nation and Athenæum.
"The leading literary and artistic figures of 60 years flit through the pages with a fascination which will amply repay those who have awaited publication of the book for its real worth. The whole of the fifty pages of Stevensonia give a more faithful picture of R. L. S. on the human side than anyone has hitherto been able to do."—Daily News.

"Exquisite is the word that swims, not 'darkly' but with a sense of utter satisfaction, through the brain in summing up Miss Anne Douglas Sedgwick's new novel, Adrienne Toner. Its quality is extraordinarily even. It is a fine book, with flashes of humour and a strong and clear reading of human life, and withal of a quality of which it can only be said at last, as at first, that it is exquisite."—Country Life.
"I loved 'Adrienne Toner.' A wonderful book, I thought. It's well worth reading."—From "The Letters of Evelyn" in the Tatler.
"As a penetrating study of a rather uncommon personality it must be regarded as a first-class piece of work."—Daily Telegraph.
"In this grave and beautiful comedy of English life, with its central figure typifying the strength and crudity of those spiritual influences which have come to us from America, Anne Douglas Sedgwick reveals the growth and maturity of her power."—Westminster Gazette.
