The Spectator. " Mrs Crofton is one of the writers who have a knack of 

 turning out just the sort of book that is nice to give and to receive. Her books 

 are always pretty inside and out. They are individual and genuine ; the out- 

 come of real feeling and personal observation. They speak to us in the voice 

 of a friend, and tell us trifles perhaps, but trifles of pleasant savour and whole- 

 some suggestion."
