Belfast NewsLetter - Thursday 17 October 1912;
"An entertaining book by a writer who knows Tuscany well. She describes the principal cities and towns and the characteristics of the people in a series of short chapters, which will interest all readers, but especially those who have visited "Dante's Land"

The Academy - 26 October 1912
"The incidents of fiction seems to blend somewhat ill with the realities of travel and information, and vice versa. It is not always wise to attempt to kill to birds with one stone; in this instance, both have been merely wounded. Not that the book should be misjudged from this latter phrase. It is both readable and useful - but it might be even better"
