OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

ON

ANNE'S TERRIBLE GOOD NATURE

ETC.


"Mr. B. V. Lucas has a sure knowledge of the way to please a child. 'Anne's Terrible Good Nature' is as good a set of short stories for children as could be made."—Nation.

"All Mr. E. V. Lucas's books for children are delightful. ... In 'Anne's Terrible Good Nature' he is fantastical and suggestive, and often full of information for childish minds—and he is always very sympathetic."—Queen.

"A volume of capital stories for children. In fact, they are so pleasantly written that grown-ups can read them with equal interest. Mr. Lucas's touch is so light and his humour so easy, indeed, that whatever he writes makes agreeable reading.... Many stories, all of which are good."—Westminster Gazette.

"I have read every word of every story, and enjoyed each word of each."—Daily Chronicle.

"We recommend with every confidence to ladies and gentlemen between the ages of seven and fourteen this volume of short stories.... About all his plots there is a glowing consciousness of the deliciousness of doing good things to please other people."—Tablet.

"The name of the author is almost guarantee for the quality of the tales. These are delightfully written, and make the most wholesome of reading for young folks."—Scotsman.

"It is a delightful book for children."—Nottingham Guardian.

"There is not a word in this book which a child would not understand, and the incidents follow each other as a child desires that they should, making clear tales with such plots as children love."—Morning Post.

"Sly or jovial fun, tenderness, boyishness, knowledge of children—all sorts of things which are quite impossible to resist. And there are Mr. A. H. Buckland's pictures, too."—Times.

"Really good, useful, and amusing stories for children."—School Guardian.
