"An exquisitely told story. The heroine is as fine a type of girlhood as one could wish to set before our little British damsels."--_Christian Leader._ "A pure, fresh story of what is the result in a young girl's life when it is governed by unselfishness and a sense of duty."--_Bradford Observer._ #BY AMY WALTON.# _THE HAWTHORNES._ By AMY WALTON. With 3 full-page Illustrations by J. J. PROCTOR. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ Describes in eight chapters the joys and troubles of five children living in a country rectory--their faults, fancies, pets, and amusements, written in simple language, and fit for children who love the country. _OUR FRANK._ By AMY WALTON. With 2 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 1_s._ 6_d._ Six stories suitable for young readers. "Our Frank," which is the longest, describes the fortunes of a runaway boy in the Buckinghamshire woods--how he met with a tramp, how they travelled together, and how, after all, Frank found that "From East to West, At Home is best." #BY THOMAS ARCHER.# _LITTLE TOTTIE,_ And Two Other Stories. By THOMAS ARCHER. With 3 full-page Illustrations by J. J. PROCTOR. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ A thrilling little drama of the life of a poor neighbourhood, and perhaps fuller of suggestion than many more pretentious tales. "We can warmly commend all three stories, and the attractive binding and pleasing illustrations combine with the contents to render the book a most alluring prize for the younger ones."--_Schoolmaster._ _MISS GRANTLEY'S GIRLS,_ And the Stories She Told Them. By THOMAS ARCHER. With 2 Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Cr. 8vo, cloth ex., 1_s._ 6_d._ Stories that are likely to prove attractive to the girls in other schools. They are small romances of real life with a good deal of genuine pathos and exciting incident in them. "For fireside reading more wholesome and, at the same time, highly entertaining reading for young people could not be found."--_Northern Chronicle._ _MISS FENWICK'S FAILURES:_ Or "Peggy Pepper-Pot." By ESME STUART. With 4 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ 6_d._ A pleasing narration of the failures of Peggy Fenwick, who, before her sixteenth birthday, had to assume the responsible position of head of her father's house. The story abounds in capitally told domestic adventures; and while it has an excellent moral purpose, it is brimful of fun. "Esme Stuart may be commended for producing a girl true to real life, who will put no nonsense into young heads."--_Graphic._ "There is not a dull page in it; while it is graphically written and abounds in touches of genuine humour and innocent fun."--_Freeman._ _THE BALL OF FORTUNE:_
