'Mr Jocelyn Brooke is one of the most interesting and talented of contemporary writers . . . we are left as delighted by the hundredth performance as we were at the first. It is magic - conjuring - of which we never tire: an example of what is called "art" . . . As a discursive travel book it seems to me in no way inferior to Norman Douglas at his best.'
Anthony Powell, Punch
'. . . In this fourth autobiographical-fictional itinerary, the ways are more enchanted and twisty, the scent keener than ever. Here is a writer possessed by the magic - the voodoo - of childhood . . . Mr. Brooke is a pleasure to read - a highly individual pleasure.'
G. W. Stonier, New Statesman
