_SOME PRESS OPINIONS._
_The Sportsman._—“The warm and lengthy praise we gave to the companion
volume ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland’ might be repeated. They should have a
place in every sportsman’s library; nay, in far more, for the piquancy of
the style, and the charming friendliness of it all, enthral the reader.”
_The Field._—“The story is told by Miss Herbert with all the free and
joyous spirit which characterised her former volume; the same love of
exploration, admiration for the beauty in nature, keenness for sport, and
withal a womanly restraint and tender-heartedness.”
_Country Life._—“Miss Herbert’s hand has lost nothing of its
sprightliness, she describes graphically and with never failing nerve
many exciting hunts. It is to the full as daring and lively as the
Somaliland volume.”
_Vanity Fair._—“The most fascinating sporting book I have read this year,
and quite the best written. In a dozen ways I found the book captivating.
Miss Herbert’s success is as emphatic in book-making as in hunting.”
_The Academy._—“We commend ‘Two Dianas in Alaska’ to many readers . . .
an amusing and picturesque journey. Scenery is powerfully described, and
so are the effects of light and shade and the flight of birds. But the
ways of the moose provide the most attractive reading of all.”
_The Daily Telegraph._—“This is a delightful book, of equal interest to
the sportsman and the general reader. Light and bright are the pages. We
heartily recommend this book to all readers. It is all admirable.”
_Ladies’ Field._—“Not less delightful than ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland.’ If
anyone turns aside from this book because he or she is indifferent to
sport they will lose some very pleasant hours. It is a charming book, and
has not a dull page in it from first to last.”
_Daily Graphic._—“The whole book is amazing good reading. The best book
of sport and travel that we have seen this season.”
_Yorkshire Post._—“This is a book of high spirits, mixed with philosophy.
In these prosaic days a romance from real life is not to be resisted.”
_The Queen._—“Very entertaining reading. It must not be thought that the
work is entirely devoted to hunting, the scenery, places, and human
beings are also described in very happy fashion.”
_The Morning Post._—“This delightful book. Lively is a poor name for it,
it scintillates with life. We are soon carried away with the zest of it,
and the irrepressible humour which bubbles out on every page.”
_The Manchester Courier._—“Those who had the good fortune to encounter
the charming record of the ‘Two Dianas in Somaliland’ will want no
recommendation to the equally sprightly description of their adventures
in Alaska. Miss Herbert has a ready sense of humour, and her wayside
jottings are inimitable.”
_Fortnightly Review._—“Miss Herbert has a happy knack of amusing the
reader on almost every page of her bright narrative, and this alone
places her above the majority of writers on travel. It is with her
asides, her not unkindly satire, her unabated philosophy, that Miss
Herbert attracts the reader.”
_Pall Mall Gazette._—“Miss Herbert has a pretty wit, word-pictures of
magic beauty. The book is witty, picturesque, exciting, and the effect on
the tired brain of a dweller in cities is that of a breeze bringing
health from a salutary land.”
