Stretton, Hesba
Christmas stories; English fiction
‘Full of strange adventures ... well worked out to the

=RAMBLES AND ADVENTURES OF OUR SCHOOL FIELD CLUB.= A Book for Boys.
By G. C. DAVIES.
=FANTASTIC STORIES.= By RICHARD LEANDER. Translated from the German
by PAULINA B. GRANVILLE. With Eight full-page Illustrations by M. E.
FRASER-TYTLER. Crown 8vo.
‘Short, quaint, and, as they are fitly called, fantastic, they deal
with all manner of subjects.’--_Guardian._
‘“Fantastic” is certainly the right epithet to apply to some of
these strange tales.’--_Examiner._
‘Amusing tales by one who took part in the general siege of
Paris.’--_Standard._
‘“The Knight who grew Rusty” is a delightful story, but “The
Queen who could not make gingerbread nuts, and the King who could
not play on the Jew’s harp,” will probably be the children’s
favourite.’--_Daily News._

Eleven Illustrations by TOWNLEY GREEN and others.
‘A wholesome present for boys.’--_Athenæum._

=HER TITLE OF HONOUR=: a Book for Girls. By HOLME LEE. New Edition.
Crown 8vo. With a Frontispiece.
‘It is unnecessary to recommend tales of Holme Lee’s, for they are
well known, and all more or less liked. But this book far exceeds
even our favourites, not perhaps as a story, for this is of the
simplest kind, but because with the interest of a pathetic story
is united the value of a definite and high purpose; and because,
also, it is a careful and beautiful piece of writing, and is full of
studies of refined and charming character.’--_Spectator._
‘It contains a vast amount of admirable and happy teaching, as
valuable as it is rare.’--_Standard._
=AT SCHOOL WITH AN OLD DRAGOON.= By STEPHEN J. MACKENNA. Crown 8vo.
With Six Illustrations.
‘Consisting almost entirely of startling stories of military
adventure.... Boys will find them sufficiently exciting
reading.’--_Times._
‘These yarns give some very spirited and interesting descriptions of
soldiering in various parts of the world.’--_Spectator._
‘Mr. MacKenna’s former work, “Plucky Fellows,” is already a
general favourite, and those who read the stories of the Old
Dragoon will find that he has still plenty of materials at hand
for pleasant tales, and has lost none of his power in telling them
well.’--_Standard._
=WAKING AND WORKING; OR, FROM GIRLHOOD TO WOMANHOOD.= By Mrs. G. S.
