Sivu 247 - Is in many ways the most brilliant collection of animal stories that has appeared; well named and well done.
Sivu 247 - It is a realistic romance of the folk of the forest — a romance of the alliance of peace between a pioneer's daughter in the depths of the ancient wood and the wild beasts who felt her spell and became her friends. It is not fanciful, with talking beasts ; nor is it merely an exquisite idyl of the beasts themselves. It is an actual romance, in which the animal characters play their parts as naturally as do the human. The atmosphere o* the book is enchanting.
Sivu 48 - Now, de creeturs never had no godm'ers; dey des hatter scuffle an' scramble an' git 'long de bes' way dey kin."
