The greatest of Arnold Bennett’s writings has now crossed the Rubicon of merely transient popularity and bids fair to become a classic. It recounts from early girlhood to old age the lives of two sisters, the exact opposites to one another in temperament. Though its spacious canvas teems with incidents and characters, all the interest concentrates on these two women; the world revolves about them. It is a story of reality; a record extraordinarily faithful of the infinite number of infinitesimal changes which steal away youth with increasing years. The book is of heroic proportions. Here all the emotions of a life-time are met together on one stage. It is real as life, and large as destiny. BURIED ALIVE: _A Tale of These Days_ Price $1.20 Net Also in Popular Edition, $0.50 Net A romantic comedy--a surprise from start to finish, brilliant in its plot, and audaciously carried out--it is the kind of book that restores adventure to life and sends the reader on his way in high spirits. A GREAT MAN: _A Comedy of Success._ Price $1.20 Net Here is a comparative study of the great and the merely successful--a gentle satire on contemporary popular methods of judging human worth. At the start THE GREAT MAN knows quite well that he is not great. Later, confused by the clamor of applause, he deceives himself. The story develops the rise of a modern writer--the get-famous-quick author who suddenly finds himself a "best-seller." HELEN WITH THE HIGH HAND: _An Idyllic Diversion._ Price $1.20 Net In the lightest comedy vein, Arnold Bennett treats of a serious economic situation--the invasion of the grim Five Towns by modernity. Helen typifies the splendid revolt of youth against the accepted and conventional. Of all Arnold Bennett’s heroines Helen is certainly the daintiest and most fascinating. The final touch of comedy arises from the fact that Helen at length overcomes her uncle, not by anything modern in her temperament, but by the old-fangled race shrewdness which she has inherited. She defeats him by the more skilful handling of his own weapons. LEONORA: _The Story of a Middle-Aged Love Affair._ Price $1.20 Net The soul-problems of a woman of forty: another novel of the Five Towns.

LEONORA is a statement of truth, seasoned with humor. THE MATADOR OF THE FIVE TOWNS _And Other Stories._ Price $1.20 Net Written in Arnold Bennett’s most brilliant manner, each story is a complete and perfect study of some family group or separate phase of Five Towns life.
