The storm of London: a social rhapsody
Blaze de Bury, Fernande
London (England) -- Fiction; Science fiction
Miss Adeline Sergeant is a writer who has endeared herself to
countless thousands of novel-readers. Her books are always human,
and she believes in happy endings, but the way is set with
temptations and storms and difficulties before the haven is finally
reached. In her new story, ‘The Waters of Oblivion,’ Miss Sergeant
displays all her old qualities, and it must create for her a host of
new friends.
=AN INDEPENDENT MAIDEN.= By ADELINE SERGEANT
In Miss Sergeant’s new story will be found all those essentials
which have made her name a household word in the realms of fiction,
and readers of the present work will be delighted to make the
acquaintance of so charming and sympathetic a heroine as Dulcie.
=THE BOOK OF ANGELUS DRAYTON.= By MRS. FRED REYNOLDS
‘The Book of Angelus Drayton’ is not a novel set to the ordinary
tune. There is a plot, indeed, and one that no one can read without
sympathetic interest; there is comedy and tragedy in it. But the
chief note of the book is its charm—its charm of subject, its charm
of treatment, and its charm of style. It is a story of the country,
and to all who love the sights and sounds of the country it will
appeal with irresistible strength. It leads the reader through the
changing seasons of the year, and of them all it has something
significant to say in the manner of a poet. It is not only a book to
be read: it is a book to be bought and read and re-read.
=RONALD LINDSAY.= By MAY WYNNE, Author of ‘For Faith and Navarre’
This is an historical romance of the period of the Scotch
Covenanters, and the background is filled with the fascinating
though sinister figure of Graham of Olaverhouse. The book will
delight all who have a feeling for the picturesqueness of bygone
days.
=LINKS OF LOVE.= By DACRE HINDLE
Two adventurous young men on pleasure bent succeed in convoying two
charming girls, with their unsuspecting chaperon, to the hotel where
the heroes of this fascinating romance of the Riviera are to stay.
Realism is happily blended with a delightful romance which promises
to be one of the most amusing of the season.
=MERELY A NEGRESS.= By STUART YOUNG
Mr. Stuart Young’s ‘Merely a Negress’ is new and original insomuch
that it deals with the problem of the marriage of an Englishman and
a Negress. The author treats his subject tactfully, and dwells upon
the incompatibility, as well as upon the emotional sympathy of the
senses. There is candour in the book, and yet restraint. As a new
experiment in fiction, Mr. Stuart Young’s book deserves to be
received with careful attention.
=THE TEMPTATION OF ANTHONY.= By ALICE M. DIEHL
