"There was a purpose behind all she wrote that lifted her books above the common, and enabled her to reach readers who would turn away from the 'typical best-seller' in disgust."--_Sunday Times_. "Mrs. Barclay was not merely a popular authoress. The ideals she preached were high and noble and tended to elevate her readers."--_Church Family Newspaper_. "The underlying quality of Mrs. Barclay's literary art was her wonderful gift of depicting home life, and it was this characteristic which made her name loved in countless homes all over the land."--_Lady_. "She gave wholesale enjoyment to countless thousands, while she was also one of the comparatively few popular authoresses who are in themselves as good as the very best of their books."--_Glasgow Herald_.
