"This book for children consists of stories about wood-folk told by a wise old forest tree: and they are all reliable 'because no tree was ever known to tell anything but the strictest truth.'" -Book Review Digest, Volume 10 "We do not remember that anything of just this kind has been published before; but certainly it has the feel of the forest in it and its illustrations are more than satisfying." -The Bookman, Volume 38 "The stories are told with the simplicity that interests; and reveal to children the mystery of nature's outdoors." -The Boston Transcript, Volume 26 "Much information has been poetically utilized, and the text is full of poetic feeling." -The Independent, Volume 77 "Very pleasant essays." -N. Y. Sun "They are a little over-fanciful here and there, but the love for nature and its inner meaning are always evident." -The Outlook, Volume 15
