“Even the dullest can hardly fail to respond to the brilliant humour of the book. As the mature work of an experienced author it would have been a remarkable achievement; being ‘the first book of a new writer’ it is an astonishing performance.”—Daily Graphic.
“This book is a fantasy, an absurdity, a dream charged with purpose; it has wit and humour, and some deep feeling covered with the gossamer of irresponsibility; it is an act of rebellion, an edged complaint, a protest touched with flame ... There are epigrams and sentences that read like a sob or a stab.”— Daily Chronicle.
“For its sheer cleverness the book is a delightful thing.”—Daily News.

“Miss Benson has a delicious sense of humour, and her way of describing people and things is most refreshing. With her sympathy, her realism, her wit and ability, it would seem that Miss Benson’s possibilities are limitless.”—The Bookman.
