The Voyage of the Arrow to the China Seas.: Its Adventures and Perils, Including Its Capture by Sea Vultures from the Countess of Warwick, as Set Down by William Gore, Chief Mate
“Full of ozone, of snap, of ginger, of swing and momentum.”--_Chicago
Evening Post._
“ ... Is one of her best and cleverest novels ... filled to the brim
with amusing incidents and experiences. This vivacious narrative needs
no commendation to the readers of Miss Bell’s well-known earlier
books.”--_N. Y. Press._
At Home with the Jardines
A companion volume to “Abroad with the Jimmies.”
Library 12mo, cloth decorative $1.50
“Bits of gay humor, sunny, whimsical philosophy, and keen indubitable
insight into the less evident aspects and workings of pure human nature,
with a slender thread of a cleverly extraneous love-story, keep the
interest of the reader fresh, and the charmingly old-fashioned happy
ending is to be generously commended. Typical, characteristic Lilian
Bell sketches, bright, breezy, amusing, and philosophic.”--_Chicago
Record-Herald._

Return
A STORY OF THE SEA ISLANDS IN 1739. With six illustrations by C. D.
Williams.
Library 12mo, cloth $1.50
“So rich in color is this story, so crowded with figures, it seems like
a bit of old Italian wall painting, a piece of modern tapestry, rather
than a modern fabric woven deftly from the threads of fact and fancy
gathered up in this new and essentially practical country, and therein
lies its distinctive value and excellence.”--_N. Y. Sun._
“At once tender, thrilling, picturesque, philosophical, and dramatic.
One of the most delightful romances we have had in many a
day.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._
The Grapple
With frontispiece in color by Arthur W. Brown.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative $1.50
“The movement of the tale is swift and dramatic. The story is so
original, so strong, and so finely told that it deserves a large and
thoughtful public. It is a book to read with both enjoyment and
enlightenment.”--_N. Y. Times Saturday Review of Books._
