- "Three children concoct a witch's brew that conjures up Morgan Le Fay in the guise of a local tycoon's wife who immediately stirs up trouble in the village." --summary, library records of the 1st US ed.
- "King Arthur's sister Morgan shows up as a local rich man's new wife, influencing him to steer a superhighway through the village" --Kirkus Reviews (contemporary, undated online, negative, see above)
- "it takes Morgan a little time to catch up with history ... [But she] seizes upon a uniquely modern method of destroying not only the village but the entire fruitful valley--she will cause the politicians to bury it under six lanes of concrete." The "Whispering Knights" of the title are the local "circle of ancient ceremonial stones", which have supernatural powers of their own. --broadly positive review by Katherine Paterson, The Washington Post 1976-05-02 pL2 "World of Wonders", 3 new fantasies for ages 8 to 12
