"Dorothy is a splendid creation, a superb creature of brains,
beauty, force, capacity, and passion, a riot of energy, love,
and red blood. She is the fairest, fiercest, strongest,
tenderest heroine that ever woke up a jaded novel reader and
made him realize that life will be worth living so long as the
writers of fiction create her like.... The story has brains,
'go,' virility, gumption, and originality."--_The Boston
Herald._
=A Forest Hearth.= A Romance of Indiana in the Thirties. Illustrated
"This work is a novel full of charm and action, picturing the
life and love of the fascinating indomitably adventurous men
and women, boys and girls, who developed Indiana. It is a
vigorous, breezy, outdoor book, with the especial intimate
touch that is possible only when the subject is one which has
long lain close to its author's heart."--_Daily News._
=Yolanda, Maid of Burgundy= Illustrated
"Charles Major has done the best work of his life in _Yolanda_.
The volume is a genuine romance ... and after the reviewer has
become surfeited with problem novels, it is like coming out
into the sunlight to read the fresh, sweet story of her love
for Max."--_The World To-day._

Mr. JOHN OXENHAM'S NOVEL
=The Long Road= With frontispiece
_Cloth, decorated cover, $1.50_
"Not since Robert Louis Stevenson has there appeared a writer
of English who can so thoroughly serve his turn with simple
Anglo-Saxon phrases ... invested with sympathetic interest,
convincing sincerity, and indefinable charm of
romance."--_North American._
"It is original both in plot and in treatment, and its skilful
mingling of idyllic beauty and tragedy plays curious tricks
with one's emotions ... and leaves an impression of happiness
and spiritual uplift. It is a story that any man or woman will
be the better for reading."--_Record-Herald_, Chicago.

=The Forest Lovers=
"The book is a joy to read and to remember, a source of clean
and pure delight to the spiritual sense, a triumph of romance
reduced to the essentials, and interpreted with a mastery of
expression that is well-nigh beyond praise."--_The Dial._
=The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay=

of master-craftsmanship touched by the splendid dignity of real
creation."--_The Interior._
