“A pretty wholesome fairy book, sufficiently mysterious to awaken interest in the children, yet very gracefully written, and having nice little morals tucked craftily away within its pages. The writer has the true gift of story-telling for little folks, and the pictures by Florence E. Storer quite suit the text.”

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“Dr. van Dyke’s practised and graceful pen has made a book by no means without literary charm. If, from the literary point of view, one were to criticise this volume, such criticism would surely involve a discounting of the effectiveness of the peroration, which is more smoke than flame, and never rises beyond the mere rhetoric of patriotism and moral enthusiasm.” Horatio S. Krans.
