" Mr. Gale's new book might have a better name, but it could hardly be a better book in its way. His whole sympathy is with youth , courage , honesty , cricket , and English manliness . This is the sort of volume that one would wish to see in every parish library , and on the shelf in every schoolboy's study . It is full of delightful anecdotes , and is a model of everything good , except perhaps style , which is unimportant . "-Saturday R e v i e w.
