"Those who know his earlier books will be delighted by the new collection. ... [His] gift, displayed here in every tale, for recreating the atmosphere of the jungle, and his skill at making his readers share the excitements, fears and enigmas of each pursuit, are undiminished. These tales are little masterpieces, full of personal magic and dramatic tension, while their veracity is only too clear in the striking simplicity of the narrative."
