Dundee Advertiser.—"'Behind the Beyond' is a brilliant parody, and the other sketches are all of Mr. Leacock's very best, 'Homer and Humbug' being as fine a piece of raillery as Mr. Leacock has written. Mr. Leacock is a humorist of the first rank, unique in his own sphere, and this volume will add yet more to his reputation."

Aberdeen Free Press.—"Exquisite quality ... amazingly funny."

Yorkshire Daily Post.—"In the skit on the problem play which gives the book its title the author reaches his high-water mark."

Glasgow Herald.—"Another welcome addition to the gaiety of the nations. The title-piece is an inimitably clever skit. It is both genial and realistic, and there is a genuine laugh in every line of it. Humour and artistry are finely blended in the drawings."

Daily Express.—"The pictures have genuine and rare distinction."
