Una Mary
By UNA A. HUNT
Here is child idealism beautifully described in personal
reminiscences. A sensitive and imaginative child creates in her
fancy a second self embodying her dearest ideals. The two selves
grow up together and eventually become one. The book is intensely
interesting, not only from a human point of view, but also from
that of a scientific psychologist.

Notes on Novelists With Some Other Notes
By HENRY JAMES
Here is a book which describes with penetrating analysis and in a
thoroughly entertaining manner of telling the work not only of
the great modern novelists of the last century, Stevenson, Zola,
Balzac, Flaubert, and Thackeray, but also takes up in a chapter
entitled “The New Novel” the work of Galsworthy, Mrs. Wharton,
Conrad, Wells, Walpole, Bennett and the other more important
contemporary novelists. This chapter gives in a short space as
keen and authoritative a criticism of present-day fiction as can
be found.

The Man Behind the Bars
By WINIFRED LOUISE TAYLOR
To gain the confidence of convicts, to know their inner lives,
and through this knowledge to attempt to better prison conditions
and methods of punishment throughout the country is Miss Taylor’s
life aim. In this book, composed of a series of anecdotes,
amusing, pathetic, and all intensely interesting, she has
embodied the experience of many years of concentrated work in
this field. In its sympathy, an essentially human quality, the
book is thoroughly fascinating and gives the point of view of a
class too little known to most of us.

Fables
By ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
“I am very much struck with Mr. Hermann’s drawings to the
Stevenson ‘Fables.’ They seem to me to show remarkable power,
both of invention and hand.”—SYDNEY COLVIN.
