A love story in Mr. London’s most powerful style, strikingly contrasted against a background of present-day economic problems--that is what “The Valley of the Moon” is. The hero, teamster, prize-fighter, adventurer, man of affairs, is one of Mr. London’s unforgettable big men. The romance which develops out of his meeting with a charming girl and which does not end with their marriage is absorbingly told. The action of the plot is most rapid, one event following another in a fashion which does not allow the reader to lose interest even temporarily. “The Valley of the Moon” is, in other words, an old-fashioned London novel, with all of the entertainment that such a description implies. Robin Hood’s Barn BY ALICE BROWN Author of “Vanishing Points,” “The Secret of the Clan,” “The Country Road,” etc. With Illustrations in Colors and in Black and White by H. M. CARPENTER _Decorated cloth, 12mo, $0.00 net_ Miss Brown’s previous books have given her a distinguished reputation as an interpreter of New England life. The idealism, the quaint humor, the skill in character drawing, and the dramatic force which have always marked her work are evident in this charming story of a dream that came true. The illustrations, the frontispiece being in colors, the others in black and white, are by Mr. Horace Carpenter, whose sympathetic craftsmanship is widely known and appreciated. Deering at Princeton BY LATTA GRISWOLD Author of “Deering of Deal” With Illustrations by E. C. CASWELL _Decorated cloth, 12mo; preparing_ This is a college story that reads as a college story should. Here Mr. Griswold tells of Deering’s Princeton years from his freshman days to his graduation. A hazing adventure of far-reaching importance, a football game or two in which Deering has a hand, a reform in the eating club system, the fraternity régime of Princeton, initiated by Deering and carried through at the sacrifice of much that he values, a touch of sentiment centering around a pretty girl who later marries Deering’s roommate, besides many lively college happenings which only one familiar with the life could have chronicled, go to the making of an intensely interesting tale. Tide Marks BY MARGARET WESTRUP _Decorated cloth, 12mo; preparing_ A novel of unusual interest and power told in a style both convincing and distinctive. Margaret Westrup promises to be one of the literary finds of the season. The Will to Live BY M. P. WILLCOCKS Author of “The Wingless Victory,” etc. _Cloth, 12mo; preparing_ In description, in vividness of character depiction, in cleverness of dialogue, and in skill of plot construction, Miss Willcocks’ previous books have displayed her rare ability. “The Will to Live” is perhaps her most mature work; it is a story with which one is sure to be satisfied when the last page is turned.
