Receptionedit
Reviewing the 1992 version of the book, Kirkus Reviews called the stories present in the collection "mainly frivolous and as contrived as a decorative petit four," with a style reminiscent of the short stories found in magazines of the 1920s and 1930s. The reviewer praised two stories in particular, which are focused more on comedy, and concluded by calling the book "[s]light, scented, and deliciously dated in style".[1]
Publishers Weekly praised the surprise endings of the short stories, although calling some of them "sadly contrived". They also noted these Ibbotson's short stories are "oversweet and ultimately cloying."[2] Ellen Cohen praised the short stories by Ibbotson, calling her writing charming.[3]
