The Oxford Circus: A Novel of Oxford and Youth
Miles, Hamish
College stories; University of Oxford -- Fiction
Author of “The Dippers.”
Third Edition. 7s. 6d. net.
“A really funny book, a naturally funny book. One of those
ridiculously funny books that provoke spontaneous laughter like
the rapid recurring barks of a quick firing gun.… It gurgles
and dances and prances with frolicsome fun. It is pure farce
from beginning to end, that is to say from Chapter II. to the
end. The first Chapter must be winked at, the wrapper cremated,
and the rest follows as spontaneously and joyously as a ring of
bells.”--_Winifred Blatchford in the Clarion._
“If you want to laugh out loud until your sides ache, read
these adventures. Not only are we given all the joys of a
French farce without a touch of indelicacy or vulgarity, but we
meet a more refreshing crowd of comedians than I have read of
for a long time.”--_S. P. B. Mais in the Daily Express._

THE DIPPERS
Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d. net.
“The Dippers” has just been dramatised
and is now being played by Cyril Maude.
“A capital farce in which the absurdities are made really
amusing. Mr. Ben Travers is a joker to be thankful for.… His
audacity is justified by his humour.”--_Daily Mail._
