Winefred: A Story of the Chalk Cliffs

Name: Winefred: A Story of the Chalk Cliffs
Author: Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)

Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)

English fiction

An exceedingly interesting story of sea life and adventure, the scene
of which is laid in the Lagoon Islands of the Pacific.

This is the first complete novel from the pen of Mr. Becke, and readers
of his collections of short stories will quickly recognize that the
author can write a novel that will grip the reader. Strong, and even
tragic, as is his novel in the main, "Edward Barry" has a happy ending,
and woman's love and devotion are strongly portrayed.


 =Unto the Heights of Simplicity.= By JOHANNES REIMERS.

 Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages                       $1.25

We take pleasure in introducing to the reading public a writer of
unique charm and individuality. His style is notable for its quaint
poetic idiom and subtle imaginative flavor. In the present story, he
treats with strength and reticence of the relation of the sexes and
the problem of marriage. Certain social abuses and false standards of
morality are attacked with great vigor, yet the plot is so interesting
for its own sake that the book gives no suspicion of being a problem
novel. The descriptions of natural scenery are idyllic in their charm,
and form a fitting background for the love story.


 =The Black Terror.= A ROMANCE OF RUSSIA. By JOHN K. LEYS.

 With frontispiece by Victor A. Searles.

 Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 350 pages                       $1.50

A stirring tale of the present day, presenting in a new light the aims
and objects of the Nihilists. The story is so vivid and true to life
that it might easily be considered a history of political intrigue
in Russia, disguised as a novel, while its startling incidents and
strange dénouement would only confirm the old adage that "truth is
stranger than fiction," and that great historical events may be traced
to apparently insignificant causes. The hero of the story is a young
Englishman, whose startling resemblance to the Czar is taken advantage
of by the Nihilists for the furtherance of their plans.


=The Baron's Sons.= By MAURUS JOKAI.

 Author of "Black Diamonds," "The Green Book," "Pretty Michal," etc.
 Translated by Percy F. Bicknell.

 Library 12mo, cloth decorative, with photogravure portrait of the
 author, 350 pages                                               $1.50

An exceedingly interesting romance of the revolution of 1848, the scene
of which is laid at the courts of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Vienna,
and in the armies of the Austrians and Hungarians. It follows the
fortunes of three young Hungarian noblemen, whose careers are involved
in the historical incidents of the time. The story is told with all of
Jokai's dash and vigor, and is exceedingly interesting. This romance
has been translated for us directly from the Hungarian, and never has
been issued hitherto in English.


=Slaves of Chance.= By FERRIER LANGWORTHY.

 With five portraits of the heroines, from original drawings by Hiel.

 Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 350 pages             $1.50
