D. Lothrop & Co. desire to call your attention to their new =HOUSEHOLD
LIBRARY= to be issued monthly at the low price of =fifty cents a
volume, $5.00 a year=. The works to be issued in this library will be
uniformly of a high standard and may well come under that class of
literature styled "home fiction," a literature, that, while free from
the flashy, sensational effect of much of the fiction of to-day, is,
nevertheless, brilliant in style, fresh and strong in action, and of
absorbing interest. It is a class that all the young folks, as well as
the fathers and mothers and older brothers and sisters, may read with
profit as well as great pleasure.
The first volume in the =HOUSEHOLD LIBRARY=, was issued Nov. 15th.
=THE PETTIBONE NAME, by Margaret Sidney=, author of _The Five Little
Peppers_, etc.
It is a delightful story of New England life and manners, sparkling in
style, bright and effective in incident, and of intense interest. There
has been no recent figure in American fiction more clearly or skilfully
drawn than Miss Judith Pettibone. Most of the characters of the book
are such as may be met with in any New England village.
The second volume of the =HOUSEHOLD LIBRARY= is
=MY GIRLS. By Lida A. Churchill.=
A story of four ambitious girls. Their struggles to realize their
ambitions and their trials and successes, make a story of intense
interest.
The third volume will be =WITHIN THE SHADOW, by Dorothy Holroyd=.
"The most successful book of the year." "The plot is ingenious, yet
not improbable, the character drawing strong and vigorous, the story
throughout one of brilliancy and power." "The book cannot help making a
sensation."--_Boston Transcript._
(_In Preparation._)
=FAR FROM HOME.= From the German of Johannes Van Derval. Translated by
=Kathrine Hamilton=.
A fascinating story of life and travel in foreign lands.
=GRANDMOTHER NORMANDY. By the author of Silent Tom.=
The story is fascinatingly told. The character of Grandmother Normandy,
stern, relentless and unforgiving, almost to the last, is strongly
drawn, and the author has shown much skill in the construction of the
story.
