_Daily Express._--“A supremely beautiful book. Every now and again
one reads a book that gives one complete joy, and then analysis
and summary become impossible, and all the reviewer can do is to
express his gratitude, and to implore his readers to buy or borrow
the book and read it for themselves.”
_Country Life._--“Mr. Algernon Blackwood has now produced the
eagerly anticipated ‘book that “Uncle Paul” wrote,’ and it is
the finest he has yet given us ... this delicate and exquisite
phantasy.”
THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY.
By EDITH WHARTON. Extra crown 8vo 6_s._
_Daily Graphic._--“It only remains to ask if Mrs. Wharton has made
the narrative interesting. She has made it enthralling. We watch
Undine with a fearful fascination.... Most brilliant novel.”
_Daily Express._--“Mrs. Wharton writes with splendid force and
humour. Her book grips, from the beginning to the end.”
_Standard._--“We read this book of close on 600 pages at a sitting.
Mrs. Wharton’s literary skill is of a high order. Her prose is a
delight to read, and her manner captivates us.”
_Globe._--“Mrs. Wharton has written a fine novel, or rather, she
has not so much written a fine novel as handled finely a big theme.
It is surely too late in the day to say that no other woman who
writes in English writes so well.”
A LAD OF KENT.
By HERBERT HARRISON. Illustrated. Extra crown 8vo. 6_s._
_Athenæum._--“Mr. Harrison supplies full measure of adventures,
both serious and comic, deftly intermingled, and he introduces to
us a variegated crowd of most life-like and interesting personages
who play vivid parts in a vivid and convincing manner.... We
congratulate the author on an excellent and stirring tale of a most
interesting epoch.”
_Globe._--“A fine story, grave and gay by turns, and always
interesting.”
_The Times._--“What lends a special flavour and character to the
tale is its continual variety.... A tale which will appeal alike
to the manhood in almost any boy and to the spirit of boyhood
persistent in most men.”
BEHIND THE SCENES IN THE SCHOOLROOM. BEING THE EXPERIENCES OF A
YOUNG GOVERNESS.
By FLORENCE MONTGOMERY, Author of “Misunderstood.” Extra crown 8vo.
6_s._
_Daily Chronicle._--“Full of the charm of _Misunderstood_.”
_Daily Telegraph._--“Miss Montgomery is thoroughly interested in
her subject, and writes a thoughtful, individual story.”
_Liverpool Daily Post._--“Miss Montgomery’s simple charm of diction
and of construction is too well known to the majority of readers to
require comment, and it will be sufficient to say of her present
story that it is just as attractive as _Misunderstood_, and
contains exactly the same qualities.”
_Review of Reviews._--“A picture of the ups and downs of the life
of a governess and the troubles of her little charges, intermingled
with a pleasantly romantic love story.”
