A book which has established its author in the front rank of American
novelists.
SMILES, A ROSE OF THE CUMBERLANDS (26th thousand)
Cloth decorative, 12mo, illustrated, $1.90
Smiles is a girl who has already made many friends and is destined
to make many more. Her real name is Rose, but the rough folk of the
Cumberlands preferred their own way of addressing her, for her smile
was so bright and winning that no other name suited her so well.
"This is the best book I have ever illustrated for any publisher. I have
tried to make the pictures all that you hoped for them."--_H. Weston
Taylor._
E. J. Anderson, former managing Editor of the Boston _Advertiser_ and
_Record_, is enthusiastic over the story and says:
"I have read 'Smiles' in one reading. After starting it I could
not put it down. Never in my life have I read a book like this that
thrilled me half as much, and never have I seen a more masterful piece
of writing."
THE MAID OF MIRABELLE: A Romance of Lorraine
Illustrated with reproductions of sketches made by the author, and with a
portrait of "The Maid of Mirabelle," from a painting by Neale Ordayne,
on the cover.
Cloth decorative, 12mo, $1.90
A story of human and heart interest. The "Maid," Joan, is a personality
just as real and lovable as was Smiles.
"The spirit of all the book is the bubbling, the irrepressibly
indomitable, cheerful faith of the people, at their very best, against
the grave Quakerism from the United States standing out grimly but
faithfully. The tale is simply, but strongly told."--_Montreal Family
Herald and Weekly Star._
MAN PROPOSES; Or, The Romance of John Alden Shaw
Cloth decorative, 12mo, illustrated, $1.90
"This is first of all a charming romance, distinguished by a fine
sentiment of loyalty to an ideal, by physical courage, indomitable
resolution to carry to success an altruistic undertaking, a splendid
woman's devotion, and by a vein of spontaneous, sparkling humor that
offsets its more serious phases."--_Springfield Republican._
THE ROMANCES OF L. M. MONTGOMERY
Each one volume, cloth decorative, 12mo, $1.90
ANNE OF GREEN GABLES (355th thousand)
Illustrated by M. A. and W. A. J. Claus.
"In 'Anne of Green Gables' you will find the dearest and most moving
and delightful child since the immortal Alice."--_Mark Twain in a letter
to Francis Wilson._
"I take it as a great test of the worth of the book that while the young
people are rummaging all over the house looking for Anne, the head of the
family has carried her off to read on his way to town."--_Bliss Carman._
ANNE OF AVONLEA (255th thousand)
Illustrated by George Gibbs.
"Here we have a book as human as 'David Harum,' a heroine who
outcharms a dozen princesses of fiction, and reminds you of some sweet
girl you know, or knew back in the days when the world was young."--_San
Francisco Bulletin._
CHRONICLES OF AVONLEA (43d thousand)
Illustrated by George Gibbs.
