Blackie & Son -- Catalogs; Children's literature -- Catalogs; Publishers' catalogs -- England -- London
"Tim, the little Jacobite who asks his grandmother if she can
remember Charles I., is a charming creation. So original a child
as Tim must win the hearts of all who read the pleasant
tale."--_Academy._
Hal Hungerford. By J. R. HUTCHINSON, B.A.
"There is no question whatever as to the spirited manner in which
the story is told; the death of the mate of the smuggler by the
teeth of the dog is especially effective. Altogether, Hal
Hungerford is a distinct literary success."--_Spectator._
The Golden Weathercock. By JULIA GODDARD.
"A cleverly conceived quaint story, in which the golden cock on
the church spire is the recipient of enchanting stories of
enchanted people and places. Full of pretty and ingenious ideas,
prettily and ingeniously written."--_Saturday Review._
White Lilac: Or, The Queen of the May. By AMY WALTON.
"Every here and there we are reminded of Mrs. Tulliver and Sister
Pullet in the quaint dialogue of the story.... Every rural parish
ought to add _White Lilac_ to its library."--_Academy._
Miriam's Ambition. By EVELYN EVERETT-GREEN.
"Miss Green's children are real British boys and girls, not small
men and women. Babs is a charming little one."--_Liverpool
Mercury._
The Brig "Audacious." By ALAN COLE.
"Bright and vivacious in style, and fresh and wholesome as a
breath of sea air in tone."--_Court Journal._
The Saucy May. By HENRY FRITH.
"Mr. Frith gives a new picture of life on the ocean wave which
will be acceptable to all young people."--_Sheffield
Independent._
Jasper's Conquest. By ELIZABETH J. LYSAGHT.
"One of the best boys' books of the season. It is full of stirring
adventure and startling episodes, and yet conveys a splendid moral
throughout."--_Schoolmaster._
Little Lady Clare. By EVELYN EVERETT-GREEN.
"Certainly one of the prettiest, reminding us in its quaintness
and tender pathos of Mrs. Ewing's delightful tales. This is quite
one of the best stories Miss Green's clever pen has yet given
us."--_Literary World._
The Eversley Secrets. By EVELYN EVERETT-GREEN.
"A clever and well-told story. Roy Eversley is a very touching
picture of high principle and unshrinking self-devotion in a good
purpose."--_Guardian._
The Hermit Hunter of the Wilds. By G. STABLES, R.N.
"Pirates and pumas, mutiny and merriment, a castaway and a cat,
furnish the materials for a tale that will gladden the heart of
many a bright boy."--_Methodist Recorder._
Sturdy and Strong. By G. A. HENTY.
"The history of a hero of everyday life, whose love of truth,
clothing of modesty, and innate pluck carry him, naturally, from
poverty to affluence. He stands as a good instance of chivalry in
domestic life."--_The Empire._
Gutta Percha Willie, The Working Genius. By GEORGE MACDONALD.
