nd vivid actuality which have made the author's
excursions into primitive Scandinavian history and legend as fascinating
and as strongly human in their appeal as the mediaeval romances which
first made him famous.
Carmen's Messenger
HAROLD BINDLOSS.
Mr. Bindloss is an author who can deftly use sensationalism to his
purpose without forcing it for mere effect, and who can also depict the
character of a strong man as honest as determined in love with a sweet
woman. He tells a story with rare skill.
Lonesome Heights
HALLIWELL SUTCLIFFE.
A thoroughly enjoyable story, without a dull page, and in the front rank
of the author's work. Plot and characterisation are equally good.
The Just Men of Cordova
EDGAR WALLACE.
An adventure story dealing with another episode in the career of the
"Four Just Men" who have appeared in several of Mr Wallace's most popular
novels.
The Rattlesnake
KATHARINE TYNAN.
A strong knowledge of human nature, for which Katharine Tynan is famous,
is well portrayed in the pages of this novel, and this, in conjunction
with the interesting nature of the plot, renders it particularly
successful. The book will be appreciated by novel readers.
Adam
PAUL TRENT.
A strikingly original novel. It tells of a young man who is kept in
seclusion and entirely without knowledge of the world until the age of
twenty-one. His development, especially from the religious standpoint, is
strikingly realistic and enthralling. A novel likely to be talked about.
MORNING POST.--"Mr. Paul Trent tells a tale well. He has a narrative
style that grips and interests, and we are grateful to him for a real and
enjoyable story."
No Greater Love
WILLIAM LE QUEUX.
A remarkable story, crowded with the most exciting situations, and
bristling with crimes which only the brain of a most versatile author
could conceive.
THE SCOTSMAN.--"Few novelists, if any, surpass Mr. Wm. Le Queux in the
art of making a frankly and formidably melodramatic story go with
alluring lightness in its intensity."
