"My Merry Rockhurst": Being Some Episodes in the Life of Viscount Rockhurst, a Friend of King Charles the Second, and at One Time Constable of His Majesty's Tower of London
Castle, Egerton
Great Britain -- History -- Charles II, 1660-1685 -- Fiction; London (England) -- Fiction; Tower of London (London, England) -- Fiction
“The book is worth reading. It will cause discussion. It is an
interesting, fictional presentation of an important modern question,
treated with fascinating feminine adroitness.”—Miss JEANNETTE GILDER in
_The Chicago Tribune_.
=At the Sign of the Fox=
“Her little pictures of country life are fragrant with a genuine love
of nature, and there is fun as genuine in her notes on rural character.
A travelling pieman is one of her most lovable personages; another is
Tatters, a dog, who is humanly winsome and wise, and will not soon be
forgotten by the reader of this very entertaining book.”—_New York
Tribune._
=The Garden, You and I=
“This volume is simply the best she has yet put forth, and quite too
deliciously torturing to the reviewer, whose only garden is in Spain.…
The delightful humor which persuaded the earlier books, and without which
Barbara would not be Barbara, has lost nothing of its poignancy, and
would make _The Garden, You and I_ pleasant reading even to the man who
doesn’t know a pink from a phlox or a _Daphne cneorum_ from a Cherokee
rose.”—_Congregationalist._

=Calumet “K”= Illustrated by Harry C. Edwards
“_Calumet ‘K’_ is a novel that is exciting and absorbing, but not the
least bit sensational. It is the story of a rush.… The book is an
unusually good story; one that shows the inner workings of the labor
union, and portrays men who are the bone and sinew of the earth.”—_The
Toledo Blade._
=The Short Line War=
“A capital story of adventure in the field of railroading.”—_Outlook._

_Each, in decorated cloth binding, $1.50_
=The Pride of Jennico=
“This lively story has a half-historic flavor which adds to its interest
… told with an intensity of style which almost takes away the breath of
the reader.”—_Boston Transcript._
=If Youth But Knew=
“They should be the most delightful of comrades, for their writing is
so apt, so responsive, so joyous, so saturated with the promptings and
the glamour of spring. It is because _If Youth But Knew_ has all these
adorable qualities that it is so fascinating.”—_Cleveland Leader._

_Each, in decorated cloth covers, $1.50_
=The Way of the Gods=
“There can be no doubt as to the artistic quality of his story. It rings
true with the golden ring of chivalry and of woman’s love, it rings true
for all lovers of romance, wherever they be, … and is told with an art
worthy of the idea.”—_New York Mail._
