"Illustrated gift books have regained this year all their pre-war sumptuousness With memories of war paper still vivid in the mind it restores one's faith in the possibility of a return to the normal in other things to handle a volume like 'Some British Ballads.' The publishers have given the ballads a setting worthy of them, and Mr. Rackham's drawings are well up to the level that has made him the most popular of illustrators" (Dublin Evening Telegraph, Dec. 24, 1919).
