Willow the king : $b The story of a cricket match

Cricket stories; England -- Fiction; Humorous stories
THOUGH Mr. JOSEPH HOCKING’S novels have been (by the _Spectator_)
compared to Mr. BARING-GOULD’S and (by the _Star_) to Mr. THOMAS
HARDY’S--next to whom it placed him as a writer of country life--and
by other journals to Mr. HALL CAINE and Mr. ROBERT BUCHANAN, they are,
one and all, stamped with striking and original individuality. Bold
in conception, pure in tone, strenuously high and earnest in purpose,
daring in thought, picturesque and life-like in description, worked out
with singular power and in nervous and vigorous language, it is not to
be wondered at that Mr. HOCKING’S novels are eagerly awaited by a large
and ever increasing public.

_Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt, =3s. 6d.=_
THE MAN AND HIS KINGDOM.
Illustrated by J. AMBROSE WALTON.
A stirring romance of modern communism and political intrigue, in
which the author has brought his peculiar skill in the weaving of
sensational incident to bear upon a plot and a _Scenario_, which
might have fascinated ANTHONY HOPE himself.
MYSTERIOUS MR. SABIN.
Illustrated by J. AMBROSE WALTON.
“One of the brightest and best managed yarns we have read for many a
day. We can recommend Mr. SABIN to all who like a thoroughly robust
mystery tale.”--_Sheffield Independent._
“A distinctly clever and interesting story of state-craft and
intrigue.... Full of dramatic incidents and surprises.”--_St. James’s
Gazette._
AS A MAN LIVES.
Illustrated by STANLEY L. WOOD.
“If you feel the need of a stimulant of this kind (an exciting
story), I can recommend you a singularly stirring sensational
novel.”--_Truth._
“A deeply interesting volume. The story is a strangely exciting
one.”--_Manchester Courier._
_Crown 8vo, Picture Wrapper, =1s.=_
FALSE EVIDENCE.
A leading London playwright applied for permission to dramatise this
story, and the thrilling character of the plot has proved so popular
that several large editions have been called for.
_Demy 8vo, Wrapper, =6d.=_
THE PEER AND THE WOMAN.
A most exciting story, which is so thrilling that it is impossible
to lay down the book until finished. The mystery thickens with each
succeeding chapter, and it is not until the very last that the clever
plot is revealed.
