REVIEWS
Miss Sharp has wit, wisdom, and imagination for her initial equipment, but she possesses also what is rarer farthe accent and the point of view. For instance, she would never introduce a bicycle into this old-fashioned country. She knows perfectly well that if there should be any occasion for hurrywhich is rarely the case in Fairylandnaturally you take a rocking-horse.The Academy, Literature Review, London.
Far and away the best fairy tales are the old traditional stories of Cinderella; Jack and the Beanstalk, and others. To these we add the stories collected and told by Andrew Lang, Hans Andersen and the Brothers Grimm; and now room must be made in that select company for the tales of Evelyn Sharp.The St. James' Gazette, London.
