"Had any one ever been disinclined to believe in Mr. Crockett's genius,
he must have recanted and repented in sackcloth and ashes after
enjoying 'Sweetheart Travellers.' It is the rarest of all rarities,
and veritably a child's book for children, as well as for women and
men. It is seldom, indeed, that the reviewer has the opportunity of
bestowing unstinted praise, with the feeling that the laudation is,
nevertheless, inadequate. 'Sweetheart Travellers' is instinct with
drollery; it continually strikes the softest notes of tenderest pathos,
like some sweet, old-fashioned nursery melody, and it must make the
most hardened bachelor feel something of the pleasures he has missed in
living mateless and childless."--_Times_.
"A more delightful book for young, old, and middle-aged, it is scarcely
possible to conceive."--_Truth_.
