THE FULFILMENT _BY THE SAME AUTHOR_ JEWEL SOWERS. 6s. =The Week’s Survey.=—“An original and intensely interesting novel. We should welcome anything further from the pen of this anonymous writer, who has produced a book that anyone might be proud to sign.” =The Onlooker.=—“The author hides her—is it her?—identity under anonymity, but has no reason to fear criticism. Though called ‘a novel’, it is a clever parable, and deals with the evil of selfishness and the blessings resulting from work for work’s sake.” =Manchester Guardian.=—“‘The Jewel Sowers’ is wholly fantastic in its incidents, but its characters are those of our society, and with all the machinery of a fairy tale the book still belongs to the realms of daily fiction. Appropriately enough the scene is laid in another world, one in which everything is said to be the opposite of the life of this planet. But this is a mere warning that the tale is fantastic; men and women in Lucifram, as the new world is called, are even too much like those on this, and if their powers are strangely superior, their motives are entirely familiar. The book, in fact, is an experiment in fantasy, and none the less pleasant on that account. It is neither an allegory, as are other tales similarly constructed, nor yet a satire, though there are elements of both interwoven with the adventures and the incidents. The anonymous authoress has demanded a wider sphere for the evolution of her characters, and no one who feels the charms of her pleasantly-depicted heroine will grudge the novel atmosphere in which she is forced to suffer and to act. The book is lightly written, bright and entertaining, and almost every character introduced is neatly characterised. Perhaps the best of them is the fairy frog, whose cheerful temper is the result of martyrdom, and who should earn a place among the favourite heroes of the fairy world.” MARIGOLD. 6s. =The Court Journal.=—“The author has so tender and graceful a touch, so keen an insight into human nature and human impulses, and so marked a power of vivid description, that he must almost certainly one day write a book of great beauty and power.” =Manchester Courier.=—“The author of ‘Jewel Sowers’ has written another allegorical romance entitled ‘Marigold,’ depicting the loves, hatreds and jealousies of spirit beings in a fantastic world. The book is curious and unconventional, and is altogether as much removed from the average ‘potboiler,’ both in aim and treatment, as anything could well be. The author gives evidence of considerable talent, and further contributions from his or her pen are to be awaited with interest.”
