"Very pretty comedy ... not only a very entertaining and amusing work, but a very kindly and tolerant work also. At the back of it is understanding and love of life, and that most admirable frame of mind for an artist, the live-and-let-live temperament."—_Times_. "’Arthur’s’ can cordially be recommended.... Mr. Lyons seems to have the animating gift as well as the seeing eye, and a kindly humour in selection and treatment brings out the light and warmth of the stall rather than its flare and smell."—_Manchester Guardian_. *CLARA* *SOME SCATTERED CHAPTERS IN THE LIFE OF A HUSSY* _Crown 8vo. 7s. net_ "No one can fail to recognise his rare qualities of sincerity and sympathy, and his gift for impressionist character-drawing."—_Punch_. "It is a true picture—and the courage of the under-people is daintily, sincerely, and dexterously revealed. One is glad to have known Clara."—_Daily Mail_. "All are admirable, and one could only wish that every worker in philanthropic or municipal machinery would learn them by heart."—_Nation_. *SIXPENNY PIECES* _Crown 8vo. 7s. and 2s. net_ ’Sixpenny Pieces’ is as good as ’Arthur’s.’ ... For a book full of laughter and tears and bits innumerable that one feels impelled to read aloud, ’Sixpenny Pieces’ would be very hard indeed to beat."—_Evening Standard_. "Those who remember ’Arthur’s,’ by the same writer, will not need to be told what excellent use he makes of his opportunities. A book of which every page is a delight, written with humour and sympathy, and a gentle satire, none the less biting for its restraint. In short, Mr. Lyons’ ’Sixpenny Pieces’ have the ring of true metal, and I for one shall eagerly anticipate another issue from the same excellent mint."—_Punch_. *COTTAGE PIE* *A COUNTRY SPREAD* _Crown 8vo. 7s. net_ "Marked with the humour and grip with which Mr. Lyons visualizes an episode, and by his remarkable power of transcribing the talk of the less educated classes of the community."—_Times_. "We doubt if it would be easy to overpraise Mr. Neil Lyons, for his humour is of the truest and most discreet order. A jollier, cheerfuller, more sympathetic book than ’Cottage Pie,’ will be sought after in vain among the successes of the season."—_Daily Telegraph_. *SIMPLE SIMON* *HIS ADVENTURES IN THE THISTLE PATCH* With 8 Illustrations by G. E. PETO _Crown 8vo. 7s. net_
