"An exciting and absorbing story."--_New York Times_. "Intensely
thrilling in parts, but an unusually good story all through. There is a
love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings, there is a run on
the bank which is almost worth a year’s growth, and there is all manner
of exhilarating men and deeds which should bring the book into high and
permanent favor."--_Chicago Evening Post_.
DARREL OF THE BLESSED ISLES. By Irving Bacheller. With illustrations
by Arthur Keller.
"Darrel, the clock tinker, is a wit, philosopher, and man of mystery.
Learned, strong, kindly, dignified, he towers like a giant above the
people among whom he lives. It is another tale of the North Country,
full of the odor of wood and field. Wit, humor, pathos and high thinking
are in this book."--_Boston Transcript_.
D’RI AND I: A Tale of Daring Deeds in the Second War with the British.
Being the Memoirs of Colonel Ramon Bell, U.S.A. By Irving Bacheller.
With illustrations by F. C. Yohn.
"Mr. Bacheller is admirable alike in his scenes of peace and war. D’ri,
a mighty hunter, has the same dry humor as Uncle Eb. He fights
magnificently on the ’Lawrence,’ and was among the wounded when Perry
went to the ’Niagara.’ As a romance of early American history it is
great for the enthusiasm it creates."--_New York Times_.
EBEN HOLDEN: A Tale of the North Country. By Irving Bacheller.
"As pure as water and as good as bread," says Mr. Howells. "Read ’Eben
Holden’" is the advice of Margaret Sangster. "It is a forest-scented,
fresh-aired, bracing and wholly American story of country and town life.
* * * If in the far future our successors wish to know what were the
real life and atmosphere in which the country folk that saved this
nation grew, loved, wrought and had their being, they must go back to
such true and zestful and poetic tales of ’fiction’ as ’Eben Holden,’"
says Edmund Clarence Stedman.
SILAS STRONG: Emperor of the Woods. By Irving Bacheller. With a
frontispiece.
"A modern Leatherstocking. Brings the city dweller the aroma of the
pine and the music of the wind in its branches--an epic poem * * *
forest-scented, fresh-aired, and wholly American. A stronger character
than Eben Holden."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
VERGILIUS: A Tale of the Coming of Christ. By Irving Bacheller.
A thrilling and beautiful story of two young Roman patricians whose
great and perilous love in the reign of Augustus leads them through the
momentous, exciting events that marked the year just preceding the birth
of Christ.
Splendid character studies of the Emperor Augustus, of Herod and his
degenerate son, Antipater, and of his daughter "the incomparable"
Salome. A great triumph in the art of historical portrait painting.
