John and Mary - Reviews

Reviews

  • "For neatness, sureness of touch, economy of effort, John and Mary leave the rest standing. They always do . . . they are as good at home as abroad." New Statesman (c. 1947)
  • "If I were around eight years old I could read about John and Mary, Granny and Miss Rose Brown, and Push, quite indefinitely . . . For sheer, simple straight-forward fun and credibility, with just a dash of moralising worked in subtly, the John and Mary series would take a lot of beating." Time and Tide (magazine) (c. 1955)
