With affectionate humor, Mr. Walpole tells the story of Jeremy and 
his two sisters, Helen and Mary Cole, who grow up in Polchester, a 
quiet English Cathedral town. There is the Jampot, who is the nurse ; 
Hamlet, the stray dog ; Uncle Samuel, who paints pictures and is 
altogether 'queer’; of course, Mr. and Mrs. Cole, and Aunt Amy. Mr. 
Walpole has given his narrative a rare double appeal, for it not only 
recreates for the adult the illusion of his own happiest youth, but it 
unfolds for the child-reader a genuine and moving experience with 
real people and pleasant things. No child will fail to love the birthday 
in the Cole household, the joyous departure for the sea and the 
country in the long vacation. ( Joseph Hergesheimer, Hugh Walpole: 
An Appreciation, 1919, p 38 and david wales)
