"As a gift-book for the young 'Our Island Story' should be one of the most popular—as it is certainly one of the best produced—of the season."—Westminster Gazette.
"The child is to put this volume, not at the lesson-book end of the shelf, but with 'Robinson Crusoe' and the like. So the preface suggests, and rightly. It is eminently readable, a success, we should say, in what looks much easier than it is, telling a story in simple words."—Spectator.

The author has endeavoured to write the book with the same clearness and simplicity of diction which characterizes her histories, and without descending to childishness, yet to be childlike—a distinction only too often lost sight of by those writing for children. A prominent feature in the work is the delightful series of drawings in colour by J. R. Skelton.
"A comprehensive, brightly-written introduction to the study of literature."—Times.
"A capital first book of English Literature for children, produced in handsome form, with excellent print, and having the advantage of twenty first-rate coloured illustrations by J. R. Skelton."—Guardian.
