To all who seek fresh and hearty amusement Mr. Peter Blundell's new story may be confidently commended."
_Morning Post_.--"The story ... is not merely amusing ... it appeals to the imagination and the feelings in other ways."
SIDNEY DARK in the _Daily Express_.--"This is a delightfully amusing book, the story of life somewhere or other in the Malay Peninsula, with irresistible light comedy in almost every chapter."
_Pall Mall Gazette_.--"Mr. Blundell continues to prove himself as true in his humour as he is surprising in his inventiveness.... The book has an exuberance of good humour."
