BY GEORGE MACDONALD.
A Rough Shaking. By GEORGE MACDONALD. With 12 page Illustrations by W.
PARKINSON. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"One of Mr. MacDonald's wonderful and charming
stories."--_Athenaeum._
"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. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine
edges, 5_s._
"In _At the Back of the North Wind_ we stand with one foot in
fairyland and one on common earth. The story is thoroughly
original, full of fancy and pathos, and underlaid with earnest but
not too obtrusive teaching."--_The Times._
Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood. By GEORGE MACDONALD. With 36 Illustrations
by ARTHUR HUGHES. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 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 MACDONALD. With 32 Illustrations.
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 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 MacDonald's
fairy tales. Mr. Arthur Hughes's illustrations are all that
illustrations should be."--_Manchester Guardian._
The Princess and Curdie. By GEORGE MACDONALD. With 8 page Illustrations.
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 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._
