Illustrations by WALTER PAGET. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "The best of this year's Henty. His narrative is more interesting than many of the tales with which the public is familiar, of escape from Siberia. Despite their superior claim to authenticity these tales are without doubt no less fictitious than Mr. Henty's, and he beats them hollow in the matter of sensations. The escape of the hero and his faithful Tartar from the Samoyedes is quite the high-water mark of this author's achievement."--_National Observer_. Orange and Green: A Tale of the Boyne and Limerick. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "An extremely spirited story, based on the struggle in Ireland, rendered memorable by the defence of 'Derry and the siege of Limerick."--_Sat. Review_. "The narrative is free from the vice of prejudice, and ripples with life as vivacious as if what is being described were really passing before the eye.... Should be in the hands of every young student of Irish history."--_Belfast News_. BY GEORGE MACDONALD. A Rough Shaking. By GEORGE MACDONALD. With 12 page Illustrations by W. PARKINSON. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._ "One of Mr. MacDonald's wonderful and charming stories."--_Athenaeum_. "One of the very best books for boys that has been written. It is full of material peculiarly well adapted for the young, containing in a marked degree, the elements of all that is necessary to make up a perfect boys' book."--_Teachers' Aid_. At the Back of the North Wind. By GEORGE MACDONALD. With 75 Illustrations by ARTHUR HUGHES. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "In _At the Back of the North Wind_ we stand with one foot in fairyland and one on common earth. The story is thoroughly original, full of fancy and pathos, and underlaid with earnest but not too obtrusive teaching"--_The Times_. Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood. By GEORGE MACDONALD. With 36 Illustrations by ARTHUR HUGHES. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "The sympathy with boy-nature in _Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood_ is perfect. It is a beautiful picture of childhood, teaching by its impressions and suggestions all noble things."--_British Quarterly Review_. The Princess and the Goblin. By GEORGE MACDONALD. With 33 Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3_s._ 6_d._ "Little of what is written for childr
