“A charming story, full of romance.... A well-written book, which young and old will read with interest.”--_Midland Counties Express._ “The success of this Scandinavian author’s evocation of a social order strangely remote from our own is remarkable.” _Westminster Gazette._ “A fine, strong, virile story of the north, full of colour and life ... should be a classic of its kind in this country before many months have gone.”--_Court Journal._ THE SONG OF THE BLOOD-RED FLOWER =By JOHANNES LINNANKOSKI= (Finnish) Translated by W. WORSTER, M.A. Crown 8vo =7s. net= “The full-blooded passion of virile youth....

Never, in its most intimate passages, does it overstep the borders of delicacy. There is nothing to raise a nasty taste in one’s mouth.... The tale is told with real beauty and poetic feeling, and the translation is a triumph.” _Badminton Magazine._ JENNY =By SIGRID UNDSET= (Norwegian) Crown 8vo Cloth =7s. 6d. net= “This is another of the remarkable novels which are being published by the great Copenhagen house of Gyldendal.”--_Graphic._ “Messrs.

The book is extraordinarily human.”--_Nottingham Journal._ “If this book is representative of modern Norwegian feminine fiction it reveals a high standard, and one which is quite on a level with the best English fiction of the day--in fact, we cannot think of an English book of this type which is quite as good.”--_Liverpool Courier._ “The central figure, Jenny ... is finely imagined.... The story is interesting as a study in temperament.”--_Scotsman._ “One of the most striking studies in feminine psychology that has appeared of late.”--_Englishwoman._ THE OUTCAST =By SELMA LAGERLÖF= (Swedish; =_NOBEL PRIZE, 1909_=) Translated by W.
