"This is a charming book.... Every lover of nature, every lover of the marvellous, every lover of the beautiful, every soul that can feel the charm of true poetry, must be deeply grateful to Mr Gosse for an intellectual treat of the highest order.... This 'Romance of Natural History' will be one of the best gift-books which can be procured for the season of Christmas and the New Year."—Daily News.
