_SOME PRESS OPINIONS_
“This delightful volume, with its scores of illustrated letters, and
sketches and charming pictures, will be very widely welcomed. No one
could wish for a more satisfactory memorial of the artist and her
work.”—_Daily Graphic._
“Whether as regards its subject, its letterpress, or its
illustrations, this is one of the most delightful, as it is likely
to become one of the most popular volumes of the series to which it
belongs.”—_Aberdeen Journal._
“Certainly one of the most beautiful monuments that could be erected
to the memory of a modest artist.”—_Daily Mail._
“By reason of its sympathetic treatment of an intensely interesting
subject, of the charm, the quality, and the profusion of its
illustrations, and of the faultless taste of its get-up, should
rank among the favourite gift-books of the approaching Christmas
season.”—_Observer._
“A book which will delight young and old by its engaging
charm.”—_Jewish World._
“The volume, magnificent to behold, is a deeply interesting
one to read, and should be peculiarly attractive to our
readers.”—_Gentlewoman._
“This delightful book should prove a capital present to give to young
folks at Christmas time. The pictures in it are very beautiful, while
the story of Kate Greenaway’s fight for fame is sympathetically
told.”—_Scottish Review._
“The book is admirably done, thorough, sympathetic, and
accurate.”—_Outlook._
