“In this simple recounting of adventures there lurks a really high art, and not a little humor. Mr. Crockett is aiming to bring home to his critical small audience the liveliness, the excitement, the breathless adventuresomeness, of these great novels. He is luring his hearers on to read for themselves. He tells them enough about the people and the events to make them hurry to the books to fill out details.”—Churchman.
“Not the least attraction of the book is the clear print, on good paper, and the really superb colored pictures, delicately tinted and full of artistic beauty. So far this is the best book we have seen in anticipation of Christmas gifts, and it is not exorbitant in price.”—New York Christian Advocate.
“Mr. Crockett has adapted Scott for the benefit of his own and other peopled children, making a little story of each of the main incidents in sequence, so that the outline and a good deal more of each romance is presented. Characteristic interludes acquaint one with the story-teller’s first audience, among them the dear little maid of ‘Sweetheart Travellers.’ The naturalness of their comment and criticism will delight the reader as surely as will Mr. Crockett’s clever rehearsal accomplish its purpose ‘to lure children to the printed book’ of his great original—and along with the youngsters many ‘oldsters’ (Mr. Crockett’s word) as well.”—The Outlook.
