Mr. J. R. Monsell’s pictures are exceptionally jolly too.... If we may judge by ourselves, not only the children, but the grown-ups of the family will be enchanted by this quite delightful and really first-rate book.” _DAILY MAIL:_ “Among the picture-books of the season, pride of place must go to Mr. Compton Mackenzie’s ‘Kensington Rhymes.’ They are full of quiet humour and delicate insight into the child-mind.” _OBSERVER:_ “Far the best rhymes of the year are ‘Kensington Rhymes,’ by Compton Mackenzie, almost the best things of the kind since the ‘Child’s Garden of Verse.’” _ATHENÆUM:_ “Will please children of all ages, and also contains much that will not be read without a sympathetic smile by grown-ups possessed of a sense of humour.” _TIMES:_ “The real gift of child poetry, sometimes almost with a Stevensonian ring.” _OUTLOOK:_ “What Henley did for older Londoners, Mr. Compton Mackenzie and Mr. Monsell have done for the younger generation.” _STANDARD:_ “Our hearts go out first to Mr. Compton Mackenzie’s ‘Kensington Rhymes.’” _SUNDAY TIMES:_ “Full of whimsical observation and genuine insight, ‘Kensington Rhymes’ by Compton Mackenzie are certainly entertaining.” _EVENING STANDARD:_ “Something of the charm of Christina Rossetti’s.” _VOTES FOR WOMEN:_ “They breathe the very conventional and stuffy air of Kensington.... We are bound to say that the London child we tried it on liked the book.” MARTIN SECKER, NUMBER FIVE JOHN STREET, ADELPHI SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF The Passionate Elopement _By_ COMPTON MACKENZIE _TIMES:_ “We are grateful to him for wringing our hearts with the ‘tears and laughter of spent joys.’” _SPECTATOR:_ “As an essay in literary bravura the book is quite remarkable.” _COUNTRY LIFE:_
