"Midnight on the Desert confirms the fact yet again--that Mr. Priestley can write most stylists off any stage, plinth, or platform. He has ease and clarity: a sure eye, a supple vocabulary and a fine rhythm." -- IVOR BROWN in the Observer.
"Mr. Priestley is always a courageous writer; his novels are shrewd, crowded, and picturesque, amusing and observant. But it was when he gave us English Journey that we had our first authentic Priestley thrill. Midnight on the Desert has the same thrill again." -- G.B. STERN in the Sunday Times.
"This book is so rich in human understanding that there is a phrase on every page worth cherishing." -- Daily Herald.
