Yussuf the Guide. A Story of Adventure in Asia Minor. By GEORGE
MANVILLE FENN. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
This story deals with the stirring incidents in the career of a lad
who has been almost given over by the doctors, but who rapidly
recovers health and strength in a journey through Asia Minor. The
adventures are many, and culminate in the travellers being snowed up
for the winter in the mountains, from which they escape while their
captors are waiting for the ransom that does not come.
Grettir the Outlaw. A Story of Iceland. By S. BARING-GOULD. 12mo,
cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"This is the boys' book of the year. That is, of course, as much as to
say that it will do for men grown as well as juniors. It is told in
simple, straightforward English, as all stories should be, and it has
a freshness and freedom which make it irresistible."--National
Observer.
Two Thousand Years Ago. The Adventures of a Roman Boy. By A. J.
CHURCH. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"Prof. Church has in this story sought to revivify that most
interesting period, the last days of the Roman Republic. The book is
extremely entertaining as well as useful; there is a wonderful
freshness in the Roman scenes and characters."--Times.
Nat the Naturalist. A Boy's Adventure in the Eastern Seas. By GEORGE
MANVILLE FENN. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.
Nat and his uncle Dick go on a voyage to the remoter islands of the
Eastern seas, and their adventures are told in a truthful and vastly
interesting fashion. The descriptions of Mr. Ebony, their black
comrade, and of the scenes of savage life, are full of genuine humor.
The Log of the Flying Fish. A Story of Peril and Adventure. By HARRY
COLLINGWOOD, 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.
"This story is full of even more vividly recounted adventures than
those which charmed so many boy readers in 'Pirate Island' and 'Congo
Rovers.' ... There is a thrilling adventure on the precipices of Mount
Everest, when the ship floats off and providentially returns by force
of 'gravitation.'"--Academy.
The Congo Rovers. A Story of the Slave Squadron. By HARRY COLLINGWOOD.
12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"The scene of this tale is laid on the west coast of Africa, and in
the lower reaches of the Congo; the characteristic scenery of the
great river being delineated with wonderful accuracy. Mr. Collingwood
carries us off for another cruise at sea, in 'The Congo Rovers,' and
boys will need no pressing to join the daring crew, which seeks
adventures and meets with any number of them."--The Times.
Boris the Bear Hunter. A Tale of Peter the Great and His Times. By
FRED WISHAW. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"This is a capital story. The characters are marked and lifelike, and
it is full of incident and adventure."--Standard.
Michael Strogoff; or, The Courier of the Czar. By JULES VERNE. 12mo,
cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
