- "Amongst new fairy-books ... [this] is certain to win much admiration. Both pictures and stories are by Laurence Housman, and both are artistic and imaginative. The stories are original, and very poetic in feeling. In method and subject-matter they recall Hindu and Japanese fairy-lore rather than European legends." --listing in "Romances and Tales of Animal Life", The Saturday Review 1904-12-17 (Supplement, p. vii)
