By E. Temple Thurston Author of “The City of Beautiful Nonsense,” “The World of Wonderful Reality,” “David and Jonathan,” etc. _8º. Illustrated throughout by Émile Verpilleux_ “Our clothing is good sheepskins Grey russet for our wives.” _Corridon’s song from the “Complete Angler.”_ A whimsical, wholly delightful adventurous assay at country life. This volume carries on in a delectable fashion all that exquisiteness in writing that characterized an earlier book, _The Open Window_. The story progresses from the buying of the old farm through all the humorous entangling mysteries that enhearten and confound the amateur householder. The Treasure of the Isle of Mist A Tale of the Isle of Skye By W. W. Tarn _8º_ An exquisite fantasy contrived with delicious humor with a lovable small heroine who has “a warm heart and a largish size in shoes”—a tale of utmost charm and much of the lore of the East and West that has filled the story-books of the world. Here is a magic which calls to young and old alike. You will love Fiona and her father the Student and undoubtedly you will be well disposed toward the Urchin—but whether you will care for Jeconiah—well you must decide that for yourself. David and Jonathan By E. Temple Thurston Author of “The City of Beautiful Nonsense” The two friends, so different in temperament and physique, but one in understanding—last to leave the burning ship, are finally thrown half dead on scorching African sands. Six days later a ship’s boat plunges through the breakers containing six bodies, apparently dead from hunger and thirst—but one breathes, a woman. Face to face with the eternal impulses of life, these three souls, completely isolated from the civilized world, work out their destiny through the instincts and impulses of primitive man. A fantastic tale, yet real and plausible, thrilling in parts, and as whimsical as _The City of Beautiful Nonsense_. The Beloved Sinner By Rachel Swete Macnamara Author of the “Fringe of the Desert,” “The Torch of Life,” and “Drifting Waters” One of the very prettiest of springtime romances—a tale of exuberant young spirits intoxicated with the springtime of living, of love gone adventuring on the rough road—a story, humorous with the gay impudences of a young Eve who is half-afraid and altogether delighted with her fairy-prince.
