=KITWYK.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
A Story with numerous illustrations by Howard Pyle, Albert Sterner and
George Wharton Edwards.
_Times_—“Mrs. Lane has succeeded to admiration, and chiefly by
reason of being so much interested in her theme that she makes
no conscious effort to please. . . . Everyone who seeks to be
diverted will read ‘Kitwyk’ for its obvious qualities of
entertainment.”
=THE CHAMPAGNE STANDARD.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Morning Post_—“The author’s champagne overflows with witty
sayings too numerous to cite.”
_Pall Mall Gazette_—“Mrs. Lane’s papers on our social manners
and foibles are the most entertaining, the kindest and the
truest that have been offered us for a long time. . . . The book
shows an airy philosophy that will render it of service to the
social student.”
=BALTHASAR AND OTHER STORIES.= Crown 8vo. 6/- Translated by
Mrs. John Lane from the French of Anatole France
_Daily Graphic_—“The original charm and distinction of the
author’s style has survived the difficult ordeal of appearing in
another language. . . . ‘The Cure’s Mignonette’ is as perfect in
itself as some little delicate flower.”
=ACCORDING TO MARIA.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Daily Telegraph_—“A more entertaining, companionable,
good-natured, and yet critical piece of portraiture we have not
had the good luck to encounter these many seasons. . . .
‘According to Maria’ is as fresh, amusing, and human a book as
any man, woman, or girl could desire to bewitch a jaded moment,
or drive away a fit of the dumps.”
_Daily Chronicle_—“This delightful novel, sparkling with
humour. . . . Maria’s world is real. . . . Thackeray might have
made such sheaves if he had been a woman.”

C. di B. (Mr. Bernard Shaw) _in the Star_—“If an unusually fine

could be prettier than his pleas and persuasions on behalf of
Narcissus and George Muncaster.”

Le Gallienne has never before compassed.”
