"Very charming in its depiction of a simple country life giving several
piquant studies of quaint and attractive character, and not wanting in
the flavor of that romance which all good novels must possess--the
romance of love.... The book is written with knowledge and power, and
has the idyllic flavor."--BOSTON BEACON.
"It is an idyll, a lovely one, conceived by some one whose childhood has
been happily impressed on him.... The reader lives amid the pastures and
the orchards of Ty-Cremed, and eats the brown bread and drinks the milk
there, and Auntie Gwen, with her white teeth, cracks filberts for him.
This sweet, impulsive woman, with her blue eyes and her russet hair,
bewitches you, as she does her little nephew, Martin. Mr. Tirebuck's
literary faculties are of an exceptional kind. Those who love to read of
child life will find here a perfect picture. There is, however, much
more than this."--N.Y. TIMES.
"It is a vigorously told story of rural and child-life in Wales, and
most tenderly, imaginatively, simply, it is done ... has humor, pathos,
fancy, courage, deep human feeling, and admirable descriptive
power."--PROVIDENCE JOURNAL.
"This is a delightful romance ... a charming description of Welsh
country life, with quaint and picturesque studies."--BOSTON TRAVELLER.
