"I love the romances of Miss Broughton; I think them much truer to Nature than Ouida's, and more impassioned and less preachy than George Eliot's. Miss Broughton's heroines are living beings, having not only flesh and blood, but also esprit and soul; in a word, they are real women, neither animals nor angels, but allied to both."—André Theuriet(the French novelist).

"If there ever was a book made up from beginning to end of laughter, yet not a comic book, or a 'merry' book, or a book of jokes, or a book of pictures, or a jest-book, or a tomfool-book, but a perfectly sober and serious book, in the reading of which a sober man may laugh without shame from beginning to end, it is the new book called 'Vice Versâ; or, a Lesson to Fathers....' We close the book, recommending it very earnestly to all fathers, in the first instance, and their sons, nephews, uncles, and male cousins next."—Saturday Review.

"The idea of preserving and publishing these legends in the form in which the old plantation negroes actually tell them, is altogether one of the happiest literary conceptions of the day. And very admirably is the work done.... In such touches lies the charm of this fascinating little volume of legends, which deserves to be placed on a level withReincke Fuchsfor its quaint humor, without reference to the ethnological interest possessed by these stories, as indicating, perhaps, a common origin for very widely-severed races."—London Spectator.

"We are just discovering what admirable literary material there is at home, what a great mine there is to explore, and how quaint and peculiar is the material which can be dug up. Mr. Harris's book may be looked on in a double light—either as a pleasant volume recounting the stories told by a typical old colored man to a child, or as a valuable contribution to our somewhat meager folk-lore.... To Northern readers the story of Brer (Brother—Brudder) Rabbit may be novel. To those familiar with plantation life, who have listened to these quaint old stories, who have still tender reminiscences of some good old mauma who told these wondrous adventures to them when they were children, Brer Rabbit, the Tar Baby, and Brer Fox, come back again with all the past pleasures of younger days."—New York Times.
