“Ascott R. Hope here breaks new ground, and he deserves as much credit for
his choice of subject as for his mode of treatment.”—Academy.

“ Ogier the Dane, Robert of Sicily, and other old-world heroes find their deeds
embedded in beautiful type, and garnished with animated sketches by Gordon
Browne. It is a charming gift-book.”—Land and Water.

“Mr. Hope’s style is quite in accord with his theme, and the simplicity with
which he recounts these ‘Stories of Old Renown’ is by no means the least part of
their attractiveness. Mr. Gordon Browne has furnished some excellent drawings
to illustrate the text.”—Pictorial World.

“The stories are admirably chosen. It is a book to be coveted by all young
readers.” —Scotsman.

“<One of the best, if not the best, boys’ book of the season.”—Truth.

“ It is impossible to praise this charming volume too highly.”—Life.
