Library of Congress: "Topffer's love for the mountains, his tendency to daydream, his taste for colors, and his unparalleled eloquence are all present in his short stories, which were collected for the first time by the publisher Charpentier. The great German poet Goethe praised Topffer's work, while the noted French literary critic Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve observed about him: 'I love simple truth, rustic and natural grace, good humor and teasing with no irony. Usually in his work, you will find a ridiculous tourist, an awkward Englishman, an audacious Frenchman, a charming young lady.'" References: Blondel 350-51. Choisy, p. 33. Gaberel, p. 12.
