A very differed story from the "Blotting Book." It is a light, highly
entertaining account of Cambridge undergraduate life which already ranks
with "Verdant Green" among University classics.
TWO NOVELS
By Mrs. HENRY DUDENEY
THE MATERNITY OF HARRIET WICKEN
A picture in low tones, but of whole-hearted conviction and quiet
sympathetic appeal. Mrs. Dudeney has realised to perfection the
work-a-day world and its stories.
THE ORCHARD THIEF
A charming country tale with, in particular, one great scene of striking
dramatic force. The contrast of this author's power to charm and to
impress as she wills, is markedly shown in this capital book.
THE TIME MACHINE
By H. G. WELLS
Author of "The War of the Worlds," "Kips," etc.
You pull certain levers, having seated yourself in the saddle, and you
are conveyed either backwards or forwards. When Mr. Wells is in the
saddle it is easy to see how highly pleasurable the adventures will be.
This clever idea has given Mr. Wells opportunity for full play of his
philosophic views.
IF I WERE KING
By JUSTIN HUNTLY MCCARTHY
A mediaeval romance of love and chivalry in which the poet Francois
Villon plays the leading part. It has drama, this story, and it seizes
the imagination.
MARCIA IN GERMANY
By SYBIL SPOTTISWOODE
Author of "Hedwig in England," etc.
Marcia is a bright, pleasant English girl, who goes to stay with her
German relations. As others before she finds it difficult to grasp a
different point of view, a different civilisation. The result is
amusingly set forth by this author, whose dialogue is always good.
GODFREY MARTIN: School Boy
By CHARLES TURLEY
One of the very best of boys' books. It is one of the rarest of all rare
things--a thoroughly sensible school story. The boys are human, neither
saints nor super-sinners, and the masters for once behave in a totally
reasonable way. And that doesn't prevent it being a rattling good story.
THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE
By STEPHEN CRANE
Author of "The Open Boat," etc.
The thunders of war, the life of regiments, the soul of humanity in
stress and dangers, its qualities and shortcomings are all written on
the pages of this thrilling and absorbing book. From the first paragraph
our enthusiasm is gained and is not let go till the last.
"Simply unapproached in intimate knowledge and sustained imaginative
strength."--SAT. REVIEW.
The STREET of ADVENTURE
By PHILIP GIBBS
The "Street" is Fleet Street of course, for in what other are so many
adventures to be found. The EVENING STANDARD says: "It has the quality
of big work.... The book positively pants with life."
_HEINEMANN'S 2s NET NOVELS_
THE SHUTTLE
By MRS. HODGSON BURNETT
Author of "Little Lord Fauntleroy," "The Secret Garden," etc.
