Castle, Egerton
Great Britain -- History -- Charles II, 1660-1685 -- Fiction; London (England) -- Fiction; Tower of London (London, England) -- Fiction
“A novel that may truly be called the greatest study of social life, in a
broad and very much up-to-date sense, that has ever been contributed to
American fiction.”—_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
=The Web of Life=
“It is strong in that it faithfully depicts many phases of American life,
and uses them to strengthen a web of fiction, which is most artistically
wrought out.”—_Buffalo Express._
=The Real World=
“The title of the book has a subtle intention. It indicates, and is
true to the verities in doing so, the strange dreamlike quality of
life to the man who has not yet fought his own battles, or come into
conscious possession of his will—only such battles bite into the
consciousness.”—_Chicago Tribune._
=The Common Lot=
“It grips the reader tremendously.… It is the drama of a human soul the
reader watches … the finest study of human motive that has appeared for
many a day.”—_The World To-day._
=The Memoirs of an American Citizen.= Illustrated with about fifty
drawings by F. B. Masters
“Mr. Herrick’s book is a book among many, and he comes nearer to
reflecting a certain kind of recognizable, contemporaneous American
spirit than anybody has yet done.”—_New York Times._
“Intensely absorbing as a story, it is also a crisp, vigorous document of
startling significance. More than any other writer to-day he is giving us
_the_ American novel.”—_New York Globe._

=The Call of the Wild= Illustrated in colors
“A big story in sober English, and with thorough art in the construction;
a wonderfully perfect bit of work; a book that will be heard of long. The
dog’s adventures are as exciting as any man’s exploits could be, and Mr.
London’s workmanship is wholly satisfying.”—_The New York Sun._
=The Sea-Wolf= Illustrated in colors
“Jack London’s _The Sea-Wolf_ is marvellously truthful.… Reading it
through at a sitting, we have found it poignantly interesting; … a superb
piece of craftsmanship.”—_The New York Tribune._
=White Fang= Illustrated in colors
“A thrilling story of adventure … stirring indeed … and it touches
a chord of tenderness that is all too rare in Mr. London’s
work.”—_Record-Herald_, Chicago.
=Before Adam= Illustrated in colors
“The story moves with a wonderful sequence of interesting and wholly
credible events. The marvel of it all is not in the story itself, but
in the audacity of the man who undertook such a task as the writing of
it.… From an artistic standpoint the book is an undoubted success. And it
is no less a success from the standpoint of the reader who seeks to be
entertained.”—_The Plain Dealer_, Cleveland.
