'[In] "David and Dawn with George Edwards and the Sea Fairies" we have a story that is absorbing and interesting from the very first chapter. It is especially appealing to children, in that it brings into being such characters as King Neptune, Queen Mother of Pearl, Constable Leather-jacket, Herbert the Herring, and hosts of amusing sea folk who participate in the thrilling adventures that befall David and Dawn during their holiday under the sea.'
