“It would be difficult to exaggerate the charm of this novel, or to overpraise the delightful unexpectedness of the plot, the wit and humour of the presentation, and the delicate beauty of the writing.

“In this book all the glory, the charming folly and pathos of youth—its touching responsiveness, instinctive generosity, as well as its amusing delight in feeling really important—are remembered, recognised and described with a perceptiveness and sympathy that have no trace of envy or patronage.”—Daily Telegraph.
“A delightfully mad story.”—The Sunday Times.
“The story is as credible as a fairy tale.”—The Spectator.
