  • "Mr. Nye's work is not for folklore purists, for he has not only added to traditional source material, but given its retelling some contemporary turns (his king says '... we're not so hot when it comes to riddles'). The book, however, is a delight in literary invention, created not without respect but with a transcending sense of fun and some deft spoofing." --Virginia Haviland, Chicago Tribune 1968-02-18 pL16, full review of the 1st US ed.
  • Kirkus Reviews 1970, contrasts the picture book adaptation Taliesin and King Arthur by Ruth Robbins with "the droll wit of Nye's Taliesin (for older children)".
