"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 lively style in which Mr. Fenn is such an
adept."--_Globe._

page Illustrations by M. ZENO DIEMER, and a Coloured Map. Crown 8vo,
cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"Is the boys' book of its year. That is, of course, as much as to
say that it will do for men grown as well as juniors. It is told
in simple, straightforward English, as all stories should be, and
it has a freshness, a freedom, a sense of sun and wind and the
open air, which make it irresistible."--_National Observer._
