"Interesting reading of the kind so entertaining, illustrated with goodportraits: brightly written: will doubtless find a wide circle ofadmirers."—Standard.
"The easy, chatty style of the book, the descriptive touches, the fundof anecdote, the artless and spontaneous narrations of the great singerherself, all contribute to make the volume attractive. Nowhere is thereanything heavy or dull."—Birmingham Post.
