"A rainbow romance, ... tender yet bracing, cheerily stimulating ... its genial entirety refreshes like a cooling shower."--_Chicago Record Herald._ "There cannot be too many of these books by 'Barbara.' Mrs. Wright knows good American stock through and through and presents it with effective simplicity."--_Boston Advertiser._ FRANK DANBY'S Sebastian _Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_ Whenever a father's ideals conflict with a mother's hopes for the son of their dreams, you meet the currents underlying the plot of "Sebastian." Its author's skill in making vividly real the types and conditions of London has never been shown to better advantage. EDEN PHILLPOTTS' The Three Brothers _Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_ "'The Three Brothers' seems to us the best yet of the long series of these remarkable Dartmoor tales. If Shakespeare had written novels we can think that some of his pages would have been like some of these. Here certainly is language, turn of humor, philosophical play, vigor of incident, such as might have come straight from Elizabeth's day.... The book is full of a very moving interest and is agreeable and beautiful."--_The New York Sun._ PUBLISHED BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: In the plain-text version of this ebook italics are indicated by _underscores_.
