''The Argus'' (Melbourne, Vic. Australien 1848 - 1957) Fredag 4 juni 1926
:Arabian Nights
:The Arabian Nights stories are all very well in their place (which, by the way, is under lock and key if the edition be unabridged), but when an author deliberately brings their atmosphere and action into the 20th century, and mixes up very modern characters with them, he should be called upon to show cause should he have any desire to be taken seriously. In "The Thousand and Second Night" (London: Williams and Norgate Lid.) Mr. Frank Heller does these things with results which can hardly be classed as happy. Handled more skilfully the idea might have been a great success, but Mr. Heller somehow misses his mark. The story leaves one with the sense of irritation, because it is "one of the might-have-beens." It tells how three thorugh-paced rogues meet with a marabout in an oasis in the Sahara, who posesses a prayer rug with occult properties. The rug cannot come into the possession of another either by purchase or gift or robbery with violece; only trickory can be effective in bringing about a changee of ownership. The three rascals are not quite aware of the peculiar conditions attaching to obtaining possession. Their endeavours land them in some uncommonly tight places, but there is a lack of spontaneity in the happenings that if fatal to their effect. The story is amusing, but scarecly worth of the form in which the publishers have produced it.

''The Australasian'' (Melbourne, Vic. Australien  1864 - 1946) Lördag 18 december 1926
:Few British or American writers can equal Mr. Frank Heller in the writing of mystery stories. His books are made more delightful by the fact that he is apparently unaware of the accepted conventions for mystery stories in use among English-speaking writers, and so he occupies the unique position of a writer of mystery stories who is really able to baffle his readers, and never fails to surprise us with his solutions. "The Thousand and Second Night". (London: Williams and Norgate), translated from the Swedish by Edwin Bjorkman, is no exception to this rule. The story takes place in Northern Africa, and concerns the search for a treasure lost for hundreds of years. The treasure can only be found by the possessor of an enchanted rug, and this can only be obtained by deceit or theft. The way to the treasure lies across a salt lake, known variously as the Lake of Death and the Bathing Place of the Devils. Only a narrow path across the lake is solid, the rest being of quicksand. The sense of mystery is perfectly sustained throughout the book, and an element of the supernatural is introduced by the enchanted rug.
