"In Buncombe County" is bubbling over with merriment--one could not be
blue with such a companion for an hour.--_Boston Times_.
It is brimming over with humor, and the reader who can follow the
fortunes of the redbird alone, who flutters through the first few
chapters, and not be moved to long laughter, must be sadly insensitive.
But laugh as he may, he will always revert to the graver vein which
unobtrusively runs from the first to the last page in the book. He
will lay down the narrative of almost grotesque adventure with a keen
remembrance of its tenderness and pathos.--_New York Tribune_.
