"The author shows a wonderful knowledge of humanity, great insight and
warmheartedness in the manner in which some of the scenes are treated,
and the sympathetic way the gentle peculiarities of the characters are
brought out."--_Baltimore Sun._
ANNE OF THE ISLAND (65th thousand)
Illustrated by H. Weston Taylor.
"It has been well worth while to watch the growing up of Anne, and the
privilege of being on intimate terms with her throughout the process has
been properly valued. The once little girl of Green Gables should have a
permanent fictional place of high yet tender esteem."--_New York Herald._
FURTHER CHRONICLES OF AVONLEA (20th thousand).
Illustrated by John Goss.
Nathan Haskell Dole compares Avonlea to Longfellow's Grand Pre--and
says, "There is something in these continued chronicles of Avonlea like
the delicate art which has made Cranford a classic."
"The reader has dipped into but one or two stories when he realizes that
the author is the most natural story teller of the day."--_Salt Lake
City Citizen._

"You pass from tears to laughter as the story unfolds, and there is

your heart."--_Joe Mitchell Chapple, Editor, The National Magazine._
"Mary Miles Minter's 'Anne' on the screen is worthy of Mark Twain's

Illustrated by George Gibbs. Cloth decorative, 12mo, $1.90
"A purely idyllic love story full of tender sentiment, redolent with
the perfume of rose leaves and breathing of apple blossoms and the sweet
clover of twilight meadow-lands."--_San Francisco Bulletin._
"A story born in the heart of Arcadia and brimful of the sweet and
simple life of the primitive environment."--_Boston Herald._
=THE STORY GIRL (46th thousand)=
Illustrated by George Gibbs. Cloth decorative, 12mo, $1.90

there is a freshness and sweetness about it which will help to lift the
load of care, to cheer the weary and to make brighter still the life
of the carefree and the happy."--_Toronto, Can., Globe._
"'The Story Girl' is of decidedly unusual conception and interest,
and will rival the author's earlier books in popularity."--_Chicago
Western Trade Journal._
