Blackie & Son -- Catalogs; Children's literature -- Catalogs; Publishers' catalogs -- England -- London
"An admirable story, as remarkable for the individuality of its
young heroes as for the excellent descriptions of coast scenery and
life in North Devon. It is one of the best books we have seen this
season."--_Athenæum._
=The Golden Magnet:= A Tale of the Land of the Incas. By G.
MANVILLE FENN. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE.
6_s._
"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 King's Name:= or, The Cruise of the _Kestrel_. By G.
MANVILLE FENN. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE.
6_s._
"The best of all Mr. Fenn's productions in this field. It has the
great quality of always 'moving on', adventure following adventure in
constant succession."--_Daily News._
=Nat the Naturalist:= A Boy's Adventures in the Eastern Seas. By
G. MANVILLE FENN. With 8 page Pictures. 5_s._
"This sort of book encourages independence of character, develops
resource, and teaches a boy to keep his eyes open."--_Saturday Review._
=Bunyip Land:= The Story of a Wild Journey in New Guinea. By G.
MANVILLE FENN. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE.
4_s._
"Mr. Fenn deserves the thanks of everybody for _Bunyip Land_, and we
may venture to promise that a quiet week maybe reckoned on whilst
the youngsters have such fascinating literature provided for their
evenings' amusement."--_Spectator._
=Quicksilver:= or, A Boy with no Skid to his Wheel. By GEORGE
MANVILLE FENN. With 6 page Illustrations by FRANK
DADD. New edition, 3_s._ 6_d._
"_Quicksilver_ is little short of an inspiration. In it that prince of
story-writers for boys--George Manville Fenn--has surpassed himself. It
is an ideal book for a boy's library."--_Practical Teacher._
=Brownsmith's Boy:= A Romance in a Garden. By G. MANVILLE
FENN. With 6 page Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._
"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._

=A Rough Shaking.= By GEORGE MAC DONALD. With 12 page

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 MACDONALD.
With 75 Illustrations by ARTHUR HUGHES. 5_s._

stand with one foot in fairyland and one on common earth."--_The Times._
