STORIES FOR BOYS.
By TALBOT BAINES REED.
+ROGER INGLETON, MINOR.+
With Seven Full-page Illustrations by J. FINNEMORE, R.I. Large crown
8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
_The Guardian_ says:--"Mr. Talbot Baines Reed knows how to tell a
story, and he does himself justice in 'Roger Ingleton, Minor,' in
which he makes an excellent book out of the return of a long-lost
half-brother who had gone out alone into the world, many years
previously, after a bitter quarrel with his father. The discovery
of the missing brother is not accomplished without many exciting
incidents, out of which Mr. Reed weaves his plot."
_The Aberdeen Free Press_ says:--"This story has a modern
atmosphere. The plot is very skilfully constructed and the interest
is maintained up to the last page."
+SIR LUDAR: A Story of the Days of the Great Queen Bess.+
With Eleven Full-page Illustrations. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s.
6d.
_The Guardian_ says:--"This stirring tale, which is played in the
days of Queen Elizabeth, and tells of the wonderful adventures of a
sturdy prentice-lad who contrived to crowd into a few years as much
danger and fighting and hairbreadth escapes as would have lasted an
army of ordinary folk for their whole lives. It is a capital book
for boys which those who begin reading will have to finish. Mr.
Pearse's illustrations, too, are very good."
_The Aberdeen Free Press_ says:--"This is a stirring tale of
adventure with plenty of fighting."
