" There is no wonder that children liked the story. It is told neatly and well, 

 and is full of great cleverness, while it has that peculiar character the absence of 

 which from many like stories deprives them of any real interest for children." — 

 Scotsman. 



" The story is a delightful bit of fancy, primarily calculated to create wonder- 

 ment in the youthful mind, but none but the dullest reader will turn over the 

 pages of the engrossing narrative without discovering that the author inculcates 

 numerous lessons of the most wholesome kind." — Daily Review. 



" The author has contributed a story which could not fail to delight the hearts 

 of fairy-tale loving children." — Aberdeen Free Press. #
