WITH EIGHT ILLUSTRATIONS BY GORDON BROWNE
_In one vol., cloth, gilt edges, price 5s._
Some Press Opinions
The Spectator:--"The book is extremely good reading from end to end; it
abounds in entertaining and exciting episodes, is wholly void of
sentimentality, and enforces in the most unmistakable and wholesome way
the duty of straight and manly conduct."
The Standard:--"Boys will be delighted with this faithful record of
public school life. It shows up without the smallest priggishness, or
the least hint of lecturing or sermonising, that side of the English
public school of which we are so proud--the fine, broad standard of a
gentleman that the well-bred boy sets up for himself."
The Daily Telegraph:--"_Godfrey Marten, Schoolboy_, may rank with the
very small number of books which treat successfully of boy-life.... It
is a bright, stirring story, and should find a hearty welcome."
Morning Post:--"_Godfrey Marten_ will rejoice the heart of many a lad.
Mr. Turley knows boys and writes lovingly of them. His story is
vivacious, the heroes are real live ones, the style is racy and true to
reality in its descriptions of masters, boys and sports, and even in
its use of school slang, the book throughout is clean, wholesome and
manly."
The Times:--"Returning to Mr. Turley's book after a year's interval we
are more than ever taken by its quiet, unassuming merits and a certain
insidious charm. Thinking over other school books we can recall
nothing nearer to boy nature than this, nor any that has greater
interest as a story."
The Guardian:--"The book is a wholesome one; the boys are gentlemen,
the games are described with spirit, and some of the difficulties of
public school life are treated in a healthy and helpful way. Moreover
it is written for boys rather than about them, and the author succeeds
in looking at things from a boy's point of view."
