The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature (1993): 387 comments: 'Class distinctions are made very clear in To See the Queen (1953). Patsy, Cherry, Roger and Christine are from families where wrist-watches, ponies and large properties are the order of the day, while the Fords live in a wretched shack, which they do not seem able to keep tidy. Fortunately, breeding wins through, and the girls soon straighten things up.'
