“The charm of this book is that the reader has the sensation of perfectly intimate, easy intercourse with Tchekhov himself.”—New Statesman.
“It is, as it were, the rude ore of inspiration and observation, from which literary metal of a high quality might have come.”—Sheffield Independent.

“But here is ‘Kew Gardens’—a work of art, made, ‘created,’ as we say, finished, four-square; a thing of original and therefore strange beauty with its own atmosphere, its own vital force.... The more one gloats over ‘Kew Gardens,’ the more beauty shines out of it ... and the more one likes Mrs. Bell’s Kew Garden woodcuts.”—The Times.
“‘The Mark on the Wall’ is a wonderful description.”—The New Statesman.
“No one who values beauty in words should miss ‘The Haunted House.’”—Daily News.
“And how amazingly it is rendered! No one interested in the expression of modern thought through modern art should miss these consummate renderings.... There is imagination here, insight and honesty. Mrs. Woolf’s style is individual, and so exquisitely suited to its subject that her pictures do not seem made with words, but with the very stuff of our mental processes.”—Observer.
“It is a new thing, made up of a new way of using words and a new way of suggesting emotions.”—Woman’s Leader.
“The beauty—not only of her writing, but of what she sees and gets through into it—is at times overwhelming. ‘A Haunted House’ is a little masterpiece; like nothing else one has ever seen so much as tried in prose.”—Time and Tide.
“In ‘Monday or Tuesday,’ Virginia Woolf has added some fine examples of her imaginative genius to the two stories already printed.”—Manchester Guardian.
