Saturday Review. — "Precisely the sort of literary effect to be 

 expected of Miss Herbert. Her style is not less racy when dealing 

 with the native and the tripper, than when she was engaged in 

 explaining- how she shot lions in Africa." 



77ja' Daily Mail. — "A bright and enthusiastic book." 



The Standard. — " Living pictures of places and people which are 

 all the more pleasant because of the whimsical humour of the writer, 

 who is alive to her finger-tips to the poetic appeal of Nature. Diana 

 has found a happy hunting ground." 



The Morning Post. — "An eminently readable book. Our author 

 has a keen appreciation of the comic elements which abound in 

 Manxland." 



The Globe.— '^ Such sympathy and insight of the ' lil' islan*.' Being 

 possessed of a lively pen, a fine touch of Celtic imagination, and a 

 real enthusiasm for her subject. Miss Herbert has succeeded very 

 well. Mr. Maxwell's plates are entirely admirable." 



The Graphic. — " Described with the intimacy of knowledge as well 

 as of affection by Miss Herbert, who, as a traveller in distant and 

 diverse regions, knows what 'coming home' means. Bright, 

 breezy, and bracing." 



The Observer. — "The steam-hammer can crack nuts, and so Miss 

 Herbert comes home from Somaliland to write a 'colour-book' on 

 the Isle of Man. It is a book of verve and individuality." 



The Sportsman. — "Miss Herbert's style of writing, always good 

 and attractive with nothing of pedantry about it, and still less of 

 vulgarity, though she can make use of a good forceful bit of slang 

 should occasion demand, grows more Howing with each successive 

 book. Vivid and striking descriptions." 



Truth. — "An attractive and sparkling book . . . much increased 

 by the many illustrations in colour by Mr. Donald Maxwell." 



The Isle of Man Times. — "The main merit of this book is the 

 singular freshness of Miss Herbert's writing. Anything one may set 

 down will come short of doing justice to a wholly delightful book." 



Sunday Times. — "Mr. Maxwell has selected with an artist's eye 

 some of the loveliest portions of the island's scenery, and the 

 composition and treatment of his subjects are of the happiest kinds 

 and make his sketches gems of art." 



The Manchester Guardian. — "An attractive book. The chapters 

 on the Manx fairies and the fishermen who are now becoming 

 lodging-house keepers are admirably done. Imagination and charm. " 



Yorkshire Post. — "This colour-book is one in a shop-full, not to 

 be bought merely for the pictures, but to be read and laughed over, 

 and, if the reader is from the 'lil' islan" working in an alien land 

 against the time of return, to be cried over." 



The Scotsman. — "Should satisfy the most exacting. A delightful 

 book." 



The Daily Express. — " A most charming book. A worthy subject 

 for such a 'colour-book' as Miss Herbert, a mighty hunter in 

 Somaliland, has written."
