The works issued in this library are 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.
=1. 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.
=2. 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.
=3. 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._
=4. FAR FROM HOME.= From the German of Johannes
Van Derval. Translated by =Kathrine Hamilton=. A
fascinating story of life and travel in foreign lands.
=5. 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.
=6. AROUND THE RANCH. By Belle Kellogg Towne.= It is
original, fresh, and written with great naturalness and
power; its pathos is exquisitely touching. The opening
scenes are laid in the Colorado mining regions.
