“It is to men like Mr. Service that we must look for really original
verse nowadays; to the men on the frontiers of the world. ‘Ballads of
a Cheechako’ is magnificent.” _Oxford Magazine._
“All are interesting, arresting, and worth reading in their own
setting for their own sakes. They are full of life and fire and
muscularity, like the strenuous and devil-may-care fight of a life
they describe.” _Standard._
RHYMES OF A ROLLING STONE. By ROBERT W. SERVICE. Crown 8vo. Cloth, 4/6
net. Fourteenth Impression. Also a Pocket Edition. Fcap. 8vo. Cloth,
4/6 net.
“There is real rollicking fun in some of the rhymed stories, and
some sound philosophy in the shorter serious poems which shows that
Mr. Service is as many steps above the ordinary lesser poets in his
thought as he is in his accomplishments.” _Academy._
“Mr. Robert Service is, we suppose, one of the most popular
verse-writers in the world. His swinging measures, his robust ballads
of the outposts, his joy of living have fairly caught the ear of his
countrymen.” _Spectator._
THE SPELL OF THE TROPICS. By RANDOLPH H. ATKIN. Cloth, 4/6 net.
The poems are striking pen-pictures of life as it is lived by those
men of the English-speaking races whose lot is cast in the sun-bathed
countries of Latin-America. Mr. Atkin’s verses will reach the hearts
of all who feel the call of the wanderlust, and, having shared their
pleasures and hardships, his poems will vividly recall to “old-timers”
bygone memories of days spent in the Land of the Coconut Tree.
THE SONG OF TIADATHA. By OWEN RUTTER. Cloth, 4/6 net. Third Impression.
Composed on the familiar metre of “Hiawatha,” “The Song of Tiadatha”
(Tired Arthur), an extravaganza written in the highest spirits,
nevertheless is an epic of the war. It typifies what innumerable
soldiers have seen and done and the manner in which they took it.
“This song of Tiadatha is nothing less than a little English epic of
the war.” _The Morning Post._
“Every Army officer and ex-officer will hail Tiadatha as a brother.
‘The Song of Tiadatha’ is one of the happiest skits born of the war.”
_Evening Standard._
