Jack Derringer : $b A tale of deep water
Lubbock, Basil
Seafaring life -- Fiction
"... All is so simply told, with such an unmistakable stamp of reality
in every word, that readers will close the book with a sort of
strange impression that they have been actual sharers in the scenes
described."--_Guardian._
SIX-SHILLING NOVELS.
THE HATANEE. Arthur Eggar.
BEAUJEU. H.C. Bailey.
"The historical romance, which has long been threatened with decay,
seems as lively as ever since its resuscitation by Stevenson. Mr.
Bailey is one of the foremost exponents, and this new work is quite his
best. 'Beaujeu' is thoroughly to be commended to admirers of romance.
There is no contemporary writer who could have done better than this,
and there are few who could have done so well.... A work full of vigour
and fire, deft invention, and knowledge of the time, and it has a real
live interest, not merely a perfunctory one."--_Athenæum._
THE HILL. Horace A. Vachell.
"The best book about schoolboys since 'Tom Brown.'"--_Daily News._
"The work of a courageous writer and a masterly."--_Vanity Fair._
BROTHERS. Horace A. Vachell.
"A novel that should not be missed."--_Daily Telegraph._
"A book to love and to live in awhile, and a book which will not
lightly be forgotten."--_Westminster Gazette._
JOHN CHARITY. Horace A. Vachell.
"A nineteenth century 'Westward Ho!'"--_Sheffield Daily Telegraph._
THE SHADOWY THIRD. Horace A. Vachell.
"An excellently well-written and well-conceived novel."--_Athenæum._
THE PINCH OF PROSPERITY. Horace A. Vachell.
"We have nothing but praise for this book. We have read every word of
it, and can conscientiously recommend it."--_Ladies' Field._
RAW MATERIAL. Miss Phyllis Bottome.
"These 'characters and episodes among working lads' are exceptionally
good. The author's rare sense of humour never degenerates into
flippancy, nor her pathos into sentimentality. 'The Chitter' is
delightful throughout, and the climax is exquisite.... Indeed, the
great charm of the book is that we are given facts, not theories, nor
'patent remedies.'"--_Guardian._
THE RED-HAIRED WOMAN. Miss Louise Kenny.
"A cleverly written romance."--_Outlook._
"A crisp, clever book."--_Liverpool Daily Post._
IN THE ARENA. Booth Tarkington.
"Capital stories.... 'Hector' is a truly magnificent character
study.... It is, we think, one of the truest, most ironic, and most
telling studies in modern American fiction."--_Daily Graphic._
A QUIXOTIC WOMAN. Isobel Fitzroy.
"The author arrests and holds the attention of the reader from the
first."--_World._
IN THE STRAITS OF HOPE. Eleanor Cropper.
