_Anne Warner’s Latest Character Creation_
IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY
_By_ ANNE WARNER
Illustrated by J.V. McFall. Cloth. $1.50
A story of love and sacrifice that teems with the author’s original
humor.—_Baltimore American_.
The humor peculiar to her pen is here in wonted strength, but in a new
guise; and set against it, or interwoven with it, is a story of love
and the strange sacrifice of which a few loving hearts are
capable.—_New York American_.
_By the same author_
YOUR CHILD AND MINE
Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50
The child heart, strange and sweet and tender, lies open to this
sympathetic writer, and other human hearts—and eyes—should be opened by
her narratives.—_Chicago Record-Herald_.
The literary charm of the stories is not the least of their
attractions. The interest is all the greater for the style in which the
story is told, and the author’s sympathy with her young friends lends a
vital warmth to her narrative.—_Philadelphia Public Ledger_.

_By the Author of “Aunt Jane of Kentucky”_
THE LAND OF LONG AGO
_By_ ELIZA CALVERT HALL
Illustrated by G. Patrick Nelson and Beulah Strong 12mo. Cloth. $1.50
The book is an inspiration.—_Boston Globe_.
Without qualification one of the worthiest publications of the
year.—_Pittsburg Post_.
Aunt Jane has become a real personage in American literature.—_Hartford
Courant_.
A philosophy sweet and wholesome flows from the lips of “Aunt
Jane.”—_Chicago Evening Post_.
The sweetness and sincerity of Aunt Jane’s recollections have the same
unfailing charm found in “Cranford.”—_Philadelphia Press_.
To a greater degree than her previous work it touches the heart by its
wholesome, quaint human appeal.—_Boston Transcript_.
The stories are prose idyls; the illuminations of a lovely spirit shine
upon them, and their literary quality is as rare as
beautiful.—_Baltimore Sun_.
MARGARET E. SANGSTER says: “It is not often that an author competes
with herself, but Eliza Calvert Hall has done so successfully, for her
second volume centred about Aunt Jane is more fascinating than her
first.”
