The Littlest One: His Book by Marion St John Webb
 
There is no need to quote here the enthusiastic reviews written about this verse-book, which tells, in such a charming manner, of a child's wonderful world-that realm wherein the things of imagination are woven with the commonplaces of everyday existence to create high adventures. Readers can confidently be left to turn these pages at random, and discover for themselves the qualities that have endeared the contents to a host of children.
 
One comment perhaps reveals the secret of the late MARION ST JOHN
WEBB's appeal for the young folk. It is from the British Weekly, and says of her that " she is one of the best-loved of children's writers." That simple tribute contains rare praise, for children are quick to distinguish true sincerity from the false, and there are few authors they have taken to their hearts so spontaneously as the writer of these inimitable verses.
