“It is a boy's story—that is, supposed to be written by a boy—and has all the freshness,
the unconscious simplicity and naivete which the imagined authorship should imply; while

for many a day.”

“The very best, the most sensible, the most practical,
the most honest book on this matter of getting up good
dinners, and living in a decent Christian way, that has yet
found its way in our household.”
