Man-woman relationships -- Fiction; Political fiction
How the doctor came to the bleak Labrador coast and there in saving life
made expiation. In dignity, simplicity, humor, in sympathetic etching of
a sturdy fisher people, and above all in the echoes of the sea, _Doctor
Luke_ is worthy of great praise. Character, humor, poignant pathos, and
the sad grotesque conjunctions of old and new civilizations are
expressed through the medium of a style that has distinction and strikes
a note of rare personality.
THE DAY'S WORK. By Rudyard Kipling. Illustrated.
The _London Morning Post_ says: "It would be hard to find better reading
* * * the book is so varied, so full of color and life from end to end,
that few who read the first two or three stories will lay it down till
they have read the last--and the last is a veritable gem * * * contains
some of the best of his highly vivid work * * * Kipling is a born
story-teller and a man of humor into the bargain."
ELEANOR LEE. By Margaret E. Sangster. With a frontispiece.
A story of married life, and attractive picture of wedded bliss * * * an
entertaining story or a man's redemption through a woman's love * * * no
one who knows anything of marriage or parenthood can read this story
with eyes that are always dry * * * goes straight to the heart of
everyone who knows the meaning of "love" and "home."
THE COLONEL OF THE RED HUZZARS. By John
Reed Scott. Illustrated by Clarence F. Underwood.
"Full of absorbing charm, sustained interest, and a wealth of thrilling
and romantic situations." "So naïvely fresh in its handling, so
plausible through its naturalness, that it comes like a mountain breeze
across the far-spreading desert of similar romances."--_Gazette-Times,
Pittsburg_.
"A slap-dashing day romance."--_New York Sun_.
