=LEAVES OF PROSE=, interleaved with verse. By ANNIE MATHESON, with which
are included two papers by May Sinclair. Crown 8vo. 5s. net. This volume
is composed of a selection of those short studies for which Miss Matheson
is so justly famous. Literature, Sociology, Art, Nature, all receive her
attention in turn, and on each she stamps the impression of her own
personality. The prose is soft and rhythmic, infused with the atmosphere
of the country-side, while the lyrics scattered throughout the volume
reflect a temperament that has remained equable under the most severe
trials. No book more aptly expresses the spirit of Christianity and good
fellowship as understood in England.
=OFF BEATEN TRACKS IN BRITTANY.= By EMIL DAVIES. Crown 8vo, cloth. 7s. 6d.
net. In this book the author, who has already won for himself a position
in a surprisingly large variety of fields, goes off the beaten track in
more than one direction. It is a book of travel, philosophy and humour,
describing the adventures, impressions and reflections of two "advanced"
individuals who chose their route across Brittany by ruling a straight
line across the map from Brest to St. Malo--and then went another way!
=IMAGINARY SPEECHES AND OTHER PARODIES IN PROSE AND VERSE.= By JACK
COLLINGS SQUIRE. Crown 8vo, cloth. 3s. 6d. net. This is probably the most
comprehensive volume of Parodies ever issued. The author is as much at his
ease in hitting off the style of Mr. Burns or Mr. Balfour, as he is in
imitating the methods and effects of the new Celtic or Imperialist poets;
whilst he is as happy in his series illustrating "The Sort of Prose
Articles that modern Prose-writers write" as he is in his model newspaper
with its various amusing features.
=SHADOWS OUT OF THE CROWD.= By RICHARD CURLE. Crown 8vo, cloth. 6s. This
book consists of twelve stories of a curious and psychological kind. Some
deal with the West Indian and South American tropics, some with London,
some with Scotland, and one with South Africa. The author's sense of
atmosphere is impressive, and there is about all his stories the
fatalistic spirit of the Russians. They have been written over a period of
several years, and show signs of a close study of method and a deep
insight into certain descriptions of fevered imagination. All are the work
of a writer of power, and of an artist of a rare and rather un-English
type.
=LONDON WINDOWS.= By ETHEL TALBOT. Crown 8vo, cloth. 2s. 6d. net. In this
little volume Miss Talbot, who is a well known and gifted singer in the
younger choir of England's poets, pictures London in many moods. She has
won themes from the city's life without that capitulation to the merely
actual which is the pitfall of so many artists. London is seen grieving,
sordid, grey, as well as magical and alluring. All who love the London of
to-day must perforce respond to the appeal which lies in these moving and
poignant verses.
=BOHEMIA IN LONDON.= By ARTHUR RANSOME. Crown 8vo, cloth. Illustrated. 2s.
