Blackie & Son
Blackie & Son -- Catalogs; Children's literature -- Catalogs; Publishers' catalogs -- England -- London
“The story culminates in the terrible struggle between the
Versaillists and the men who follow the red flag. Mr. Hayens holds the
balance with commendable impartiality. He loves to describe a good
soldier on whichever side he may fight. Altogether _Paris at Bay_ is
of more than average merit.”--_Spectator._
BY GEORGE MANVILLE FENN.
“Mr. Fenn stands in the foremost rank of writers in this
department.”--_Daily News._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant._
=Dick o’ the Fens=: A Romance of the Great East Swamp. By G. MANVILLE
FENN. Illustrated by FRANK DADD. 6_s._
“We conscientiously believe that boys will find it capital reading.
It is full of incident and mystery, and the mystery is kept up to the
last moment. It is rich in effective local colouring; and it has a
historical interest.”--_Times._
=Devon Boys=: A Tale of the North Shore. By G. MANVILLE FENN. With 12
page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
“An admirable story, as remarkable for the individuality of its
young heroes as for the excellent descriptions of coast scenery and
life in North Devon. It is one of the best books we have seen this
season.”--_Athenæum._
=The Golden Magnet=: A Tale of the Land of the Incas. By G. MANVILLE
FENN. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
“There could be no more welcome present for a boy. There is not a dull
page in the book, and many will be read with breathless interest. ‘The
Golden Magnet’ is, of course, the same one that attracted Raleigh and
the heroes of _Westward Ho!_”--_Journal of Education._
=In the King’s Name=: or, The Cruise of the _Kestrel_. By G. MANVILLE
FENN. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
“The best of all Mr. Fenn’s productions in this field. It has the
great quality of always ‘moving on’, adventure following adventure in
constant succession.”--_Daily News._
=Nat the Naturalist=: A Boy’s Adventures in the Eastern Seas. By G.
MANVILLE FENN. With 8 page Pictures. 5_s._
“This sort of book encourages independence of character, develops
resource, and teaches a boy to keep his eyes open.”--_Saturday Review._
=Bunyip Land=: The Story of a Wild Journey in New Guinea. By G.
MANVILLE FENN. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 4_s._
“Mr. Fenn deserves the thanks of everybody for Bunyip Land, and we
may venture to promise that a quiet week may be reckoned on whilst
the youngsters have such fascinating literature provided for their
evenings’ amusement.”--_Spectator._
=Quicksilver=: or, A Boy with no Skid to his Wheel. By GEORGE MANVILLE
FENN. With 6 page Illustrations by FRANK DADD. 3_s._ 6_d._
“_Quicksilver_ is little short of an inspiration. In it that prince of
story-writers for boys--George Manville Fenn--has surpassed himself.
It is an ideal book for a boy’s library.”--_Practical Teacher._
=Brownsmith’s Boy=: A Romance in a Garden. By G. MANVILLE FENN. With 6
page Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._
