N. Y. EVENING POST:—
- "The action is brisk, and the descriptions of scenery are delightful. In the working out there is originality enough to savor half a dozen modern novels. Just a simple love story, but concerning a pair of lovers whose outlook on life and love is so broad that to share it for an hour or two is to be glad that one lives and proud if the capacity for loving has not been frittered away."
BOSTON TRANSCRIPT:—
"The authors have duplicated their earlier success. . . . Two more delightful figures than Boy and Man ' rarely are found in fiction or elsewhere."
THE NATION:—
"Aided by the scenery of Switzerland and France and by near characterizations of men, women, and mules, and abetted by our old friends, the Lightning Conductor and Molly, now his wife, it offers a front of airy and charming promise, and dances in graceful mirth down its appointed hour. . . . The characters are life-like enough to satisfy any novel-reader in good standing. . . . All the intoxication of mountaineering is here. . . . Scenery is more than described; it is conveyed. . . . Gay and breezy fun plays duets very prettily with much genuine enthusiasm for beauty."
LOS ANGELES TIMES:-
"A modern prose 'As You Like It,' . . . most delightfully written, . . . containing wit as well as delicate humor, and descriptive work entirely unconventional and full of feeling, in place of the usual attitudinizing platitudes. ... All lovers of Switzerland and the lake region of Italy are advised to buy the book; likewise all lovers of that distinctly modern fiction in which the romance is genuine and strong, and also of the finest type."
