"This book consists of 10 poems, or rather pictures, told on the basis of legends, legends and historical events. Very skillfully in some of the poems the author has brought children to the forefront, who bring incidents from the theater of war to their games, and sometimes with the accuracy of their sentences embarrass the elders, or give them courage. The weakest is the first poem, passing by the historical truth at every turn. These poems are read with occupation by older children, and we find flashes of real talent in them, but the whole presents itself unevenly, as if it were still drawn by an uncertain hand.", for: THE EXTENSIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE.
