Barbara Lynn: A Tale of the Dales and Fells.
Jenkinson, Emily J.
Westmorland (England) -- Fiction
"'Inis Glora and Angel Meadow! These were the teachers who were the
making of Bride Kilbride a splendid soul'--Inis Glora, the wild island
in the North Sea where Bride (or Bridget) grew up in the ruined castle
of the Macdonalds; and Angel Meadow, the overcrowded slums of a
provincial city crushed by a hungry winter and seething with social
unrest, which stirred her to service and love. Homes both of them of
dream for an imaginative nature; and the two worlds, so far apart yet
linked so closely by human ties, shine with the glow of enthusiasm and
of striving and suffering humanity through the pages of this finely
imaginative novel."
_GLOBE_
"A remarkable and highly imaginative novel."
_MANCHESTER COURIER_
"It is, indeed, a fine novel which betokens nothing of a skimpy nature
either in conception or relation."
_DAILY NEWS_
"Characters touched with glow and wonder, seances that are always
informed with a sort of symbolism, give Miss Jenkinson's second novel an
imaginative power that lifts it well above the ordinary sort of fiction.
Her book has the rather unusual quality of beauty that never gushes into
rhapsody."

Mr. EDWARD ARNOLD'S Latest Novels
SOMETHING AFAR
By MAXWELL GRAY, Author of "The Silence of Dean Maitland." Second
Impression.
_TATLER._--"'Something Afar' is, from the readable point of view, as
good a story as any which has been published this season. Personally I
don't think that Maxwell Gray has given us anything so good since 'The
Silence of Dean Maitland.'"
THE GENTLE LOVER
By FORREST REID, Author of "The Bracknels."
_SPECTATOR._--"A delightful comedy of middle age. Mr. Forrest Reid never
strikes a jarring note; his style is always delicately attuned to the
scene or the mood of the speaker, and we part reluctantly from the
companionship of the pleasant people whom he has set before us with such
convincing yet unaffected art."
THE VILLAGE IN THE JUNGLE.
By LEONARD WOOLF. Second Edition.
"The Village in the Jungle" is a story which gives a vivid and realistic
picture of life in a remote jungle village in Ceylon. The author was in
the Ceylon Civil Service.
_MORNING POST._--"It is an admirable piece of work, which calls for
unqualified praise. We have met here with a new type of humanity drawn
from life, and we at once respect and pity it."
TINKER'S HOLLOW
By Mrs. F. E. CRICHTON, Author of "The Soundless Tide," etc. Second
Impression.
_MORNING POST._--"Mrs. Crichton is to be warmly congratulated on the
appearance of this truthful and entrancing story of Ulster village
life."
_BRITISH WEEKLY._--"This is a most vital book, and full of the true
Ulster atmosphere. Mrs. Crichton moves us sometimes to laughter and
sometimes to tears. The plot is a good one and well carried through, but
the novel excels in its records of the talk of Ulster men and women."
BRIDE ELECT. By A. M. CHAMPNEYS.
