Kitty Alone: A Story of Three Fires (vol. 3 of 3)
Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)
English fiction -- 19th century
A story of society by a new writer, full of interest and power, which
has attracted by its brilliance universal attention. The best
critics were cordial in their praise. The ‘Guardian’ spoke of ‘Dodo’
as _unusually clever and interesting_; the ‘Spectator’ called it _a
delightfully witty sketch of society_; the ‘Speaker’ said the
dialogue was _a perpetual feast of epigram and paradox_; the
‘Athenæum’ spoke of the author as _a writer of quite exceptional
ability_; the ‘Academy’ praised his _amazing cleverness_; the
‘World’ said the book was _brilliantly written_; and half-a-dozen
papers declared there _was not a dull page in the book_.

=Baring Gould.= MRS. CURGENVEN OF CURGENVEN. By S. BARING GOULD. _Third
Edition. 6s._
A story of Devon life. The ‘Graphic’ speaks of it as _a novel of

=Baring Gould.= CHEAP JACK ZITA. By S. BARING GOULD. _Third Edition.

Gazette’ calls ‘a powerful drama of human passion’; and the
‘National Observer’ ‘a story worthy the author.’
=Baring Gould.= THE QUEEN OF LOVE. By S. BARING GOULD. _Second Edition.
Crown 8vo. 6s._
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._
