“In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or
more graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in ‘Cleg
Kelly.’ ... It is one of the great books.”--_Boston Daily
Advertiser._
_BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT._ Third edition.
“Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that
thrill and burn.... Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor.
They are fragments of the author’s early dreams, too bright, too
gorgeous, too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds
to be caught and held palpitating in expression’s grasp.”--_Boston
Courier._
“Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to
the reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and
admirable portrayal of character.”--_Boston Home Journal._
_THE LILAC SUNBONNET._ Eighth edition.
“A love story, pure and simple, one of the old-fashioned,
wholesome, sun shiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero,
and a heroine, who is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any
other love story half so sweet has been written this year it has
escaped our notice.”--_New York Times._
“The general conception of the story, the motive of which is the
growth of love between the young chief and heroine, is delineated
with a sweetness and a freshness, a naturalness and a certainty,
which places ‘The Lilac Sunbonnet’ among the best stories of the
time.”--_New York Mail and Express._
“A VERY REMARKABLE BOOK.”
_THE BETH BOOK._ By SARAH GRAND, author of “The Heavenly Twins,” etc.
12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“Readers will linger delightedly over one of the freshest and
deepest studies of child character ever given to the world, and
hereafter will find it an ever-present factor in their literary
recollections and impressions.”--_London Globe._
“Here there are humor, observation, and sympathetic insight into
the temperaments both of men and women.”--_London Daily Chronicle._
“Beth and her environments live before us. We see her sensitive as
a musical instrument to the touch of surrounding influences, every
latent quality for good and evil in her already warring for
mastery.”--_London Daily News._
“There is much vivacity, much sympathy for the moods of girlhood,
and with the strange, quaint, happy fancies of a child; and much
power of representing these things with humor, eloquence, and
feeling.”--_Westminster Gazette._
