_SATURDAY REVIEW:_

"These are particularly jolly rhymes, that any really good sort of
a chap, say a fellow of about ten would like. Mr. J. R. Monsell's
pictures are exceptionally jolly too.... If we may judge by
ourselves, not only the children, but the grown-ups of the family
will be enchanted by this quite delightful and really first-rate
book."

_DAILY MAIL:_

"Among the picture-books of the season, pride of place must go to
Mr. Compton Mackenzie's 'Kensington Rhymes.' They are full of quiet
humour and delicate insight into the child-mind."

_OBSERVER:_

"Far the best rhymes of the year are 'Kensington Rhymes,' by
Compton Mackenzie, almost the best things of the kind since the
'Child's Garden of Verse.'"

_ATHENAEUM:_

"Will please children of all ages, and also contains much that will
not be read without a sympathetic smile by grown-ups possessed of a
sense of humour."

_TIMES:_

"The real gift of child poetry, sometimes almost with a
Stevensonian ring."

_OUTLOOK:_

"What Henley did for older Londoners, Mr. Compton Mackenzie and Mr.
Monsell have done for the younger generation."

_STANDARD:_

"Our hearts go out first to Mr. Compton Mackenzie's 'Kensington
Rhymes.'"

_SUNDAY TIMES:_

"Full of whimsical observation and genuine insight, 'Kensington
Rhymes' by Compton Mackenzie are certainly entertaining."
