“This is a very amusing book, and full of that quiet humour for which the Americans are so famous.

“Mr. Stoddard’s book is delightful reading, and in Mr. Wallis Mackay he has found a most congenial and poetical illustrator.”—Bookseller.
“A remarkable book, which has a certain wild picturesqueness.”—Standard.
“The author’s experiences are very amusingly related, and, in parts, with much freshness and originality.”—Judy.
