SOME PRESS OPINIONS
Spectator.—"A blend of delicious fooling and excellent satire. Once more the author of 'Literary Lapses' has proved himself a benefactor of his kind."
Morning Post.—"All the 'Adventures' are full of the fuel of the laughter which is an intellectual thing."
Pall Mall Gazette.—"Professor Leacock show no falling off either in his fund of social observation or his power of turning it to sarcasm and humour. The book is full to the brim with honest laughter and clever ideas."
Bystander.—"It is necessary to laugh, now even more necessary than at ordinary times. Fortunately, Professor Leacock produces a new book at the right moment. It will cause many chuckles. He is simply irresistible."
Westminster Gazette.—"Marks a distinct advance in Mr. Leacock's artistic development."
Daily Chronicle.—"This altogether delightful and brilliant comedy of life. . . . Mr. Leacock's humour comes from the very depths of a strong personality, and in the midst of a thousand whimsicalities, a thousand searchlights on the puerilities of human nature he sever loses touch with the essential bite of life."
Saturday Review.—"Professor Leacock is a delightful writer of irresponsible nonsense with a fresh and original touch. These 'Arcadian Adventures' are things of sheer delight."
Tatler.—"I have not felt so full of eagerness and life since the war began as after I had this delightfully humorous and clever book."
Evening Standard.—"In this box the satire is brilliantly conspicuous."
