=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.
=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._
=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
ASCOTT 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._
BY HARRY COLLINGWOOD.
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant._
=The Log of a Privateersman.= By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. With
12 page Illustrations by W. RAINEY, R.I. 6_s._
"The narrative is breezy, vivid, and full of incidents, faithful in
nautical colouring, and altogether delightful."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
=The Pirate Island:= A Story of the South Pacific. By HARRY
COLLINGWOOD. With 8 page Pictures by C. J. STANILAND
and J. R. WELLS. 5_s._
"A capital story of the sea: indeed in our opinion the author is
superior in some respects as a marine novelist to the better-known Mr.
Clark Russell."--_The Times._
[Illustration: _Reduced Illustration from "The Log of a
Privateersman"._]
=The Log of the "Flying Fish":= A Story of Aerial and Submarine
Adventure. By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. With 6 page
Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 3_s._ 6_d._
"The _Flying Fish_ actually surpasses all Jules Verne's creations; with
incredible speed she flies through the air, skims over the surface of
the water, and darts along the ocean bed. We strongly recommend our
schoolboy friends to possess themselves of her log."--_Athenæum._
