- Price from brief review in "Pick of the new paperbacks for children" by {{a|Nicholas Tucker}}, The Observer 1976-05-02 p27; this one "packed with even more arcane but often fascinating references to a lost past, while telling a fairly orthodox romantic story about a [17c] Puritan family." (Tucker's column is first in a series, covering "the pick of each month's new paperbacks for children".)
- Cover illustration matches that Amazon displays for the 2000 Jane Nissen Books ed. (see), unexamined, whose interior illustrator is known to be Scoular Anderson.
