“The most attractive picture-book of the year. There is a strain of seriousness, we might almost say sadness, underlying the expression of Miss Smith’s characters, that the young folks may not find attractive, though they may not penetrate deep enough into the philosophy of art to know the cause. But artistically these pictures would be hard to equal.”
