BOOTLES’ CHILDREN. (Illustrated by J. BERNARD
PARTRIDGE.) (11th Edition.)
“John Strange Winter is never more thoroughly at home than when
delineating the characters of children, and everyone will be
delighted with the dignified Madge and the quaint Pearl. The book
is mainly occupied with the love affairs of Terry (the soldier
servant who appears in many of the preceding books), but the
children buzz in and out of its pages much as they would come in
and out of a room in real life, pervading and brightening the
house in which they dwell.”--_Leicester Daily Post._
THE CONFESSIONS OF A PUBLISHER.
“The much discussed question of the relations between a publisher
and his clients furnishes Mr John Strange Winter with material
for one of the brightest tales of the season. Abel Drinkwater’s
autobiography is written from a humorous point of view; yet here,
as elsewhere, ‘many a true word is spoken in jest,’ and in the
conversations of the publisher and his too ingenuous son, facts
come to light that are worthy of the attention of aspirants to
literary fame.”--_Morning Post._
MIGNON’S HUSBAND. (14th Edition.)
“It is a capital love story, full of high spirits, and written in
a dashing style that will charm the most melancholy of readers
into hearty enjoyment of its fun.”--_Scotsman._
THAT IMP. (12th Edition.)
“Barrack life is abandoned for the nonce, and the author
of ‘Bootles’ Baby’ introduces readers to a country home
replete with every comfort and containing men and women whose
acquaintanceship we can only regret can never blossom into
friendship.”--_Whitehall Review._
“This charming little book is bright and breezy, and has the ring
of supreme truth about it.”--_Vanity Fair._
MIGNON’S SECRET. (17th Edition.)
“In ‘Mignon’s Secret’ Mr Winter has supplied a continuation to
the never-to-be-forgotten ‘Bootles’ Baby.’ ... The story is
gracefully and touchingly told.”--_John Bull._
ON MARCH. (10th Edition.)
“This short story is characterised by Mr Winter’s customary truth
in detail humour, and pathos.”--_Academy._
“By publishing ‘On March,’ Mr J. S. Winter has added another
little gem to his well-known store of regimental sketches. The
story is written with humour and a deal of feeling.”--_Army and
Navy Gazette._
IN QUARTERS. (11th Edition.)
“‘In Quarters’ is one of those rattling tales of soldiers’ life
which the public have learned to thoroughly appreciate.”--_The
Graphic._
“The author of ‘Bootles’ Baby’ gives us here another story of
military life, which few have better described.”--_British
Quarterly Review._
