“It is extraordinarily refreshing, by turns jaded and perplexed as we are with sex problems and complications arising out of the married state, to watch, absolutely without their aid, the birth and development in this joyous, radiant being of the Sorrow Soul.” Glasgow Herald. “This thoughtful and able story.” Liverpool Post. “A charming literary effort and clever study.” The Guardian. “Stella Morecombe is one of those rare heroines whose charm is felt by the reader as well as described by the writer.” * * * * * Crown 8vo, cloth, 4s. 6d. net. IN THE WAKE OF KING JAMES. BY STANDISH O’GRADY, AUTHOR OF “ULRICK THE READY.” Athenæum. “No one now living writes a better story of adventure than Mr. Standish O’Grady.... It has every quality that is of value in such a story.... It ought to be devoured for pure delight by all the young people in the kingdom.” The Speaker. “A robust and excellent piece of work.... Mr. Standish O’Grady must be warmly congratulated upon so unequivocal a success as he has achieved in this thrilling romance.” Manchester Guardian. “A striking and powerful romance of love and adventurous peril.... Mr. O’Grady is to be congratulated and thanked for a spirited piece of imagination, full of swing and vigour. This story, at any rate, does not ‘buckle and bow the mind to the nature of things,’ but quickens the pulse and stirs the blood in the name of chivalry.” Scotsman. “The tale is vivid and vigorous above most, and there is about it a fine briny flavour of the Atlantic.... Old Thomas is certainly a villain of the first water, and what is more to the purpose, a villain of a new type.” Freeman’s Journal. “Without any disparagement to the power and brilliancy of any of Mr. O’Grady’s work, we think that we have here perhaps the most interesting and finished of his novels.... The hero’s adventures, mishaps, and captivity in the grim old hold of his malevolent cousin, and his final rescue by the quick-witted and courageous Lady Sheela, will be read in the volume before us, and we will not spoil the reader’s enjoyment of the full flavour of those startling adventures by any attempted foretaste. ‘In the Wake of King James’ will undoubtedly do much to increase the already high reputation of its author.” Weekly Irish Times. “Do you want to read a thoroughly fresh and stirring romance? If you do, get Mr. Standish O’Grady’s last novel, ‘In the Wake of King James.’ ...The wild work that goes on in the old castle, and the hair-breadth escapes ... should be enough to quicken the pulses of the most sluggish-blooded reader.” * * * * * Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d. net.
