Kitty Alone: A Story of Three Fires (vol. 2 of 3)
Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)
English fiction -- 19th century
The ‘Glasgow Herald’ says that ‘the scenery is admirable, and the
dramatic incidents are most striking.’ The ‘Westminster Gazette’
calls the book ‘strong, interesting, and clever.’ ‘Punch’ says that
‘you cannot put it down until you have finished it.’ ‘The Sussex
Daily News’ says that it ‘can be heartily recommended to all who
care for cleanly, energetic, and interesting fiction.’
=Norris.= HIS GRACE. By W. E. NORRIS, Author of ‘Mademoiselle de
Mersac.’ _Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
‘The characters are delineated by the author with his characteristic
skill and vivacity, and the story is told with that ease of manners
and Thackerayean insight which give strength of flavour to Mr.
Norris’s novels. No one can depict the Englishwoman of the better
classes with more subtlety.’—_Glasgow Herald._
‘Mr. Norris has drawn a really fine character in the Duke of
Hurstbourne, at once unconventional and very true to the
conventionalities of life, weak and strong in a breath, capable of
inane follies and heroic decisions, yet not so definitely portrayed
as to relieve a reader of the necessity of study on his own
behalf.’—_Athenæum._
=Parker.= MRS. FALCHION. By GILBERT PARKER, Author of ‘Pierre and His
People.’ _New Edition. 6s._
Mr. Parker’s second book has received a warm welcome. The ‘Athenæum’
called it _a splendid study of character_; the ‘Pall Mall Gazette’
spoke of the writing as _but little behind anything that has been
done by any writer of our time_; the ‘St. James’s’ called it _a very
striking and admirable novel_; and the ‘Westminster Gazette’ applied
to it the epithet of _distinguished_.
=Parker.= PIERRE AND HIS PEOPLE. By GILBERT PARKER. _Crown 8vo. Buckram.
6s._
‘Stories happily conceived and finely executed. There is strength and
genius in Mr. Parker’s style.’—_Daily Telegraph._
=Parker.= THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE. By GILBERT PARKER, Author of
‘Pierre and His People,’ ‘Mrs. Falchion,’ etc. _Crown 8vo. 5s._
‘The plot is original and one difficult to work out; but Mr. Parker has
done it with great skill and delicacy. The reader who is not
interested in this original, fresh, and well-told tale must be a
dull person indeed.’—_Daily Chronicle._
‘A strong and successful piece of workmanship. The portrait of
Lali, strong, dignified, and pure, is exceptionally well
drawn.’—_Manchester Guardian._
‘A very pretty and interesting story, and Mr. Parker tells it with much
skill. The story is one to be read.’—_St. James’s Gazette._
=Anthony Hope.= A CHANGE OF AIR: A Novel. By ANTHONY HOPE, Author of
‘The Prisoner of Zenda,’ etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._
A bright story by Mr. Hope, who has, the _Athenæum_ says, ‘a decided
outlook and individuality of his own.’
‘A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters
are traced with a masterly hand.’—_Times._
