“An sheer beauty of colour Edmund Dulac's illustrations stand easily first among the pictured stories of the year.But little miracles of beauty as these pictures are, Mr. Dulac has the blessed sense of humor that will make its appeal even to small readers on whom, alas! his finer qualities may well be lost...Nothing more purely beautiful has ever come even from Dulac’s fairy brush than the picture of Badoura in the arms of Camaralzaman against a background so exquisite as to make one hold one’s breath” (The Outlook, 1913).
