IN DEFIANCE OF THE KING. A Romance of the American Revolution. By
Chauncey C. Hotchkiss. Cloth, 12mo. with four illustrations by J. Watson
Davis, Price, $1.00.
Mr. Hotchkiss has etched in burning words a story of Yankee
bravery, and true love that thrills from beginning to end, with the
spirit of the Revolution. The heart beats quickly, and we feel
ourselves taking a part in the exciting scenes described. His whole
story is so absorbing that you will sit up far into the night to
finish it. As a love romance it is charming.
GARTHOWEN. A story of a Welsh Homestead. By Allen Raine. Cloth, 12mo.
with four illustrations by J. Watson Davis. Price, $1.00.
"This is a little idyl of humble life and enduring love, laid bare
before us, very real and pure, which in its telling shows us some
strong points of Welsh character--the pride, the hasty temper, the
quick dying out of wrath.... We call this a well-written story,
interesting alike through its romance and its glimpses into another
life than ours. A delightful and clever picture of Welsh village
life. The result is excellent."--Detroit Free Press.
MIFANWY. The story of a Welsh Singer. By Allan Raine. Cloth, 12mo. with
four illustrations by J. Watson Davis. Price, $1.00.
"This is a love story, simple, tender and pretty as one would care
to read. The action throughout is brisk and pleasing; the
characters, it is apparent at once, are as true to life as though
the author had known them all personally. Simple in all its
situations, the story is worked up in that touching and quaint
strain which never grows wearisome, no matter how often the lights
and shadows of love are introduced. It rings true, and does not tax
the imagination."--Boston Herald.
