Literary World.--“Mr. Craven knows the Yorkshire Dales and dale
folk well, and these sketches are vigorous, spirited, and sympathetic.
Those who care for the Yorkshire people will find much to interest and
delight them, and all to whom simplicity, naturalness, and shrewdness
of character appeal will find pleasure in Mr. Craven’s Idylls. He has a
real gift of picturesque style.”
Morcar. A Novel by THOMAS SCOTT. 6s.
The Times.--“A readable story of the noble house of Morcar in
the time of James I.”
Lloyds’ Weekly.--“Mr. Scott in this story has quite caught the
vein of old-fashioned romance. He grips the reader’s attention....
Thrilling incidents are plentiful, and the historical element is well
maintained.”
The Scotsman.--“Good historical romance is not too frequent in
modern fiction, and an author who essays to lead the taste of novel
readers in this direction is deserving of encouragement. Mr. Scott goes
back to the sixteenth century, and out of the troublous happenings of
these historic times he has constructed a briskly moving story of love
and mystery.”
The Weaver’s Shuttle. A Novel by MRS. C. G. GALLICHAN.
Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
Trim and Antrim’s Shores. A Story by HENRY G. FILDES.
Cover designed by HERBERT COLE. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
The Canon’s Butterfly. A Novel by MAX BARING (Author
of “The Troubles of a Shovel Hat,” &c.) Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
The Daily Mail.--“Related with irresponsible vivacity, and makes
very light and lively reading.”
The World.--“Mr. Max Baring is the ‘agreeable rattle’ of
present-day novelists. He is particularly agreeable and successfully
rattling in his _invraisemblable_, but plausible novel ‘The
Canon’s Butterfly.’... The book is funny because the author cannot help
it, and is, indeed, rather apologetic for its fun.”
The Star.--“It amuses you from beginning to end. It is sadly
flippant, gay, pert, and smart; but it is never dull or prosy.”
Jewel Sowers. A Novel. (ANONYMOUS). Crown 8vo, cloth,
6s.
T.P.’s Weekly.--“There is good writing in this story, which
undoubtedly shows imaginative power.”
