“Frederick Watson has a special capacity for the creation of incident.
It is not only inexhaustible—it is unremitting. It never lets the
interest drop for a page, or for an instant.... The name of Fraser
having been mentioned is the cue for an introduction of another Fraser.
No other than Simon Lord Lovat.... But the character, though little more
than a thumbnail sketch, will live in every memory in the same manner as
we make acquaintance for life with Sir Walter Scott’s Louis the
Eleventh, and never forget what manner of man he was.... This
breathless, but abundantly winning novel is sure to be popular and
successful.”—Sir EDWARD RUSSELL in the _Liverpool Post_.
“The writer knows his period and his district thoroughly, and his
Highlanders are life-like.”—_Athenæum._
“Rob is a gallant laddie, and Muckle John a tantalising, elusive hero.
We should like the author to have disclosed the real name of the
Highland robber in the end! But we forgive him his reticence for the
general pleasure his book has afforded us.”—_The Record._
“Just the right thing for young people. It is charged with adventure,
treachery, and excitement.... Muckle John is a fine, bold creation,
whose personality dominates the book.”—_Saturday Review._
“This is a quite exceptional book, which is worthily enhanced by
exceptional coloured illustrations by Mr. Allan Stewart.”—_Daily News._
