Castle, Egerton
Great Britain -- History -- Charles II, 1660-1685 -- Fiction; London (England) -- Fiction; Tower of London (London, England) -- Fiction
“Full enough of incident to have furnished material for three or four
stories.… A most interesting and engrossing book. Every page unfolds new
possibilities, and the incidents multiply rapidly.”—_Detroit Free Press._
“We are disposed to rank _Marion Darche_ as the best of Mr. Crawford’s
American stories.”—_The Literary World._
=Katharine Lauderdale=
=The Ralstons.= A Sequel to “Katharine Lauderdale”
“Mr. Crawford at his best is a great novelist, and in _Katharine
Lauderdale_ we have him at his best.”—_Boston Daily Advertiser._
“A most admirable novel, excellent in style, flashing with humor, and
full of the ripest and wisest reflections upon men and women.”—_The
Westminster Gazette._
“It is the first time, we think, in American fiction that any
such breadth of view has shown itself in the study of our social
framework.”—_Life._
Mr. WINSTON CHURCHILL’S NOVELS
_Each, cloth, gilt tops and titles, $1.50_
=The Celebrity.= An Episode
“No such piece of inimitable comedy in a literary way has appeared for
years.… It is the purest, keenest fun.”—_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
=Richard Carvel= Illustrated
“… In breadth of canvas, massing of dramatic effect, depth of feeling,
and rare wholesomeness of spirit, it has seldom, if ever, been surpassed
by an American romance.”—_Chicago Tribune._
=The Crossing= Illustrated
“_The Crossing_ is a thoroughly interesting book, packed with exciting
adventure and sentimental incident, yet faithful to historical fact both
in detail and in spirit.”—_The Dial._
=The Crisis= Illustrated
“It is a charming love story, and never loses its interest.… The intense
political bitterness, the intense patriotism of both parties, are shown
understandingly.”—_Evening Telegraph_, Philadelphia.
=Coniston= Illustrated
“_Coniston_ has a lighter, gayer spirit, and a deeper, tenderer touch
than Mr. Churchill has ever achieved before.… It is one of the truest
and finest transcripts of modern American life thus far achieved in our
fiction.”—_Chicago Record-Herald._
Mr. JAMES LANE ALLEN’S NOVELS
_Each, cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
=The Choir Invisible=
_This can also be had in a special edition illustrated by Orson Lowell,
$2.50_
“One reads the story for the story’s sake, and then re-reads the book out
of pure delight in its beauty. The story is American to the very core.…
Mr. Allen stands to-day in the front rank of American novelists. _The
Choir Invisible_ will solidify a reputation already established and bring
into clear light his rare gifts as an artist. For this latest story is as
genuine a work of art as has come from an American hand.”—HAMILTON MABIE
in _The Outlook_.
