_Academy._—‘Rarely does one meet with an author whose
wit is so apt, whose touches of sentiment are so
genuine. His paper on tobacco is good reading, though
one remembers Calverley and the Arcadian mixture; the
eulogy on the loafer is second only to Mr. Stevenson’s
praise of “The Idler.” There is too a distinct flavour
of poetry in much of Mr. Grahame’s works. One could
have wished “White Poppies” had been written in verse,
were not the prose of it so delicate and adequate.’
_Daily Chronicle._—‘Mr. Kenneth Grahame’s
accomplishment is astounding.... His style is a
delight, so high is its vitality, or cool its colours,
so nimble and various its rhythms. He has read and
assimilated Browne Burton. He has a pretty poetic
fancy and is apt at a quaint analogy. Many forms of
beauty—existent and non-existent—he loves with a deep
and discriminating love.’
