“Mr. Fenn’s books are among the best, if not altogether the best,
of the stories for boys. Mr. Fenn is at his best in _Brownsmith’s
Boy_.”--_Pictorial World._
⁂ For other Books by G. MANVILLE FENN, see page 22.
BY GEORGE MAC DONALD.
“Dr. George Mac Donald is one of the cleverest of writers for
children.”--_The Record._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant._
=A Rough Shaking.= By GEORGE MAC DONALD. With 12 page Illustrations by
W. PARKINSON. 6_s._
“One of the very best books for boys that has been written. It is
full of material peculiarly well adapted for the young, containing in
a marked degree the elements of all that is necessary to make up a
perfect boys’ book.”--_Teachers’ Aid._
=At the Back of the North Wind.= By GEORGE MAC DONALD. With 75
Illustrations by ARTHUR HUGHES. 5_s._
“The story is thoroughly original, full of fancy and pathos.... We
stand with one foot in fairyland and one on common earth.”--_The
Times._
=Ranald Bannerman’s Boyhood.= By GEO. MAC DONALD. With 36 Illustrations
by ARTHUR HUGHES. 5_s._
“The sympathy with boy-nature in _Ranald Bannerman’s Boyhood_ is
perfect. It is a beautiful picture of childhood, teaching by its
impressions and suggestions all noble things.”--_British Quarterly
Review._
=The Princess and the Goblin.= By GEORGE MAC DONALD. With 32
Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._
“Little of what is written for children has the lightness of touch and
play of fancy which are characteristic of George Mac Donald’s fairy
tales. Mr. Arthur Hughes’s illustrations are all that illustrations
should be.”--_Manchester Guardian._
=The Princess and Curdie.= By GEORGE MAC DONALD. With 8 page
Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._
“There is the finest and rarest genius in this brilliant story.
Upgrown people would do wisely occasionally to lay aside their
newspapers and magazines to spend an hour with _Curdie_ and the
_Princess_.”--_Sheffield Independent._
BY ASCOTT R. HOPE.
“Such is the charm of Mr. Hope’s narrative that it is impossible to
begin one of his tales without finishing it.”--_St. James’s Gazette._
=The Seven Wise Scholars.= By ASCOTT R. HOPE. With nearly 100
Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._
“As full of fun as a volume of _Punch_; with illustrations,
more laughter-provoking than most we have seen since Leech
died.”--_Sheffield Independent._
=Stories of Old Renown=: Tales of Knights and Heroes. By A. R. HOPE.
With 100 Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 3_s._ 6_d._
“A really fascinating book worthy of its telling title. There is, we
venture to say, not a dull page in the book, not a story which will
not bear a second reading.”--_Guardian._
=Young Travellers’ Tales.= By ASCOTT R. HOPE. With 6 Illustrations by
H. J. DRAPER. 3_s._ 6_d._
“Possess a high value for instruction as well as for entertainment.
His quiet, level humour bubbles up on every page.”--_Daily Chronicle._
BY HARRY COLLINGWOOD.
“As a story-teller Mr. Collingwood is not surpassed.”--_Spectator._
