"Mary Webb need fear no comparison with any writer who has attempted to capture the soul of nature in words." —John Buchan
"On some bookshelves, we feel sure, Precious Bane will find almost a hallowed place." —The New York Times Book Review
"The book opens with one of those simple sentences which haunt the mind until the curiosity has been satisfied . . . It strikes a note which never fails throughout; it opens with a beauty which is justified to the last sentence." —Hilda Addison
