American fiction -- 19th century; Dime novels; Man-woman relationships -- Fiction; Upper class -- Fiction
By =Fergus Hume=. “Fully as interesting as his former books, and keeps
one guessing to the end. The story begins with the murder of an old
lady, with no apparent cause for the crime, and in unraveling the
mystery the author is very clever in hiding the real criminal. A
pleasing romance runs through the book, which adds to the
interest.”—_Albany Evening Journal._ 12mo, cloth bound, $1.25.
THE SILLY SYCLOPEDIA
By =Noah Lott=. “A terrible thing in the form of a literary torpedo
which is launched for hilarious purposes only, inaccurate in every
particular, containing copious etymological derivations and other
useless things. It is one of the cleverest, most scintillating
little bunches of foolishness that has appeared in many moons. There
is not a dull page in the book.”—_New Orleans Picayune._
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth bound, 75 cents.
THE PEARL AND THE PUMPKIN
By =Paul West= and =W. W. Denslow=. “Belongs to the same class of
books for children with ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘The Wizard of
Oz.’ Get the big, handsome book, where Paul West tells all about it,
and W. W. Denslow has illustrated the story with a whole book full
of the funniest colored pictures that will keep the eyes big and
round with surprise and the sides shaking with laughter.”—_Cleveland
Plaindealer._ Illustrated, 4to, cloth bound, $1.50.
DENSLOW’S NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. (30th Thousand)
The old classic story, illustrated by =W. W. Denslow=. Here is the
best Christmas story ever told. The man is yet to be born who can
write anything to supersede what has made St. Nicholas and his tiny
reindeer living and breathing realities to millions of children
throughout the world.
Embellished, as it is, with the whimsical humor of Mr. Denslow’s
inimitable drawings, produced in colors by the most beautiful
printing, it will eclipse all other juvenile picture books of the
year. A large quarto, handsomely bound in cloth or illuminated board
cover, $1.50.
