They really are splendid." (Game and Gun, December 1938). "Capturing a host of country characters - amorous horses, fox and huntsman and a disobedient salmon - "Sambo And Susan And Other Tales" is a collection of charming, illustrated cautionary stories from the bright and talented imagination of 12 year old Katharine Harrison-Wallace in 1938."
