boy. The boy's way of thinking, his outlook upon life, his ambitions, his ideals, his moods, his peculiarities, these are all here touched with a kindly sympathy and humor."--_New York Sun_. "Mr. Phillpotts writes from a real knowledge of the schoolboy's habit of thought. He writes with much humor and the result is as delightful and entertaining a volume as has come from his pen for some time."--_Buffalo Evening News_. CHRONICLES OF ST. TID BY EDEN PHILLPOTTS "The gifts of the short-story writer are wholly Mr. Phillpotts'. Here, as elsewhere in his works, we have the place painted with the pen of an artist, and the person depicted with the skill of the writer who is inspired by all types of humanity."--_Boston Evening Transcript_. "No one rivals Phillpotts in this peculiar domain of presenting an ancient landscape, with its homes and their inmates as survivals of a past century. There is nothing vague about his characters. They are undeniable personalities, and are possessed of a psychology all their own."--_The Chicago Tribune_. THE BANKS OF COLNE BY EDEN PHILLPOTTS "Absorbing, written with sure power and a constant flow of humor.... Has the warm human glow of sympathy and understanding, and it is written with real mastery."--_New York Times_. "A tale of absorbing interest from its start to the altogether unusual and dramatic climax with which it closes."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger_. "Stands in the foremost rank of current fiction."--_New York Tribune_. "His acute faculties of sympathetic observation, his felicitous skill in characterization, and his power to present the life of a community in all its multiple aspects are here combined in the most mature and absorbing novel of his entire career."--_Philadelphia Press_. THE GREEN ALLEYS BY EDEN PHILLPOTTS "As long as we have such novels as _The Green Alleys_ and such novelists as Mr. Phillpotts, we need have no fears for the future of English fiction. Mr. Phillpotts' latest novel is a representative example of him at his best, of his skill as a literary creator and of his ability as an interpreter of life."--_Boston Transcript_. "A drama of fascinating interest, lightened by touches of delicious comedy ... one of the best of the many remarkable books from the pen of this clever author."--_Boston Globe_. BRUNEL'S TOWER BY EDEN PHILLPOTTS The regeneration of a faulty character through association
