SOME CHOICE FICTION.
EACH, 16MO, CLOTH, SPECIAL BINDING, $1.25.
_THE MYSTERY OF CHOICE._ By R. W. CHAMBERS, author of “The Moon-Maker,”
“The Red Republic,” etc.
“Probably Mr. Robert W. Chambers is to-day the most promising
American writer of fiction of his age.... ‘The Mystery of Choice’
reveals his most delightful qualities at their best.... Imagination
he has first of all, and it is of a fine quality; constant action
he achieves without apparent effort; naturalness, vividness, the
power of description, and especially local color, come to him like
delight in one of those glorious mornings when distance seems
annihilated.”--_Boston Herald._
_MARCH HARES._ By HAROLD FREDERIC, author of “The Damnation of Theron
Ware,” “In the Valley,” etc.
“One of the most cheerful novels we have chanced upon for many a
day. It has much of the rapidity and vigor of a smartly written
farce, with a pervading freshness a smartly written farce rarely
possesses.... A book decidedly worth reading.”--_London Saturday
Review._
“A striking and original story, ... effective, pleasing, and very
capable.”--_London Literary World._
“Mr. Frederic has found fairyland where few of us would dream of
looking for it.... ‘March Hares’ has a joyous impetus which carries
everything before it; and it enriches a class of fiction which
unfortunately is not copious.”--_London Daily Chronicle._
_GREEN GATES. An Analysis of Foolishness._ By Mrs. K. M. C.
MEREDITH (Johanna Staats), author of “Drumsticks,” etc.
