--The Handsome Brandons. Illustrated by G. D. HAMMOND, R.I. 3_s._ 6_d._
_New Edition._
A delightful story of an ancient Irish family. Every one of the nine young
Brandons was handsome, and every one was spirited and lovable. The shadows
in the picture hang ominously over Castle Angry and its inmate, the
vindictive Sir Rupert de Lacy. The story ends happily for "The Handsome
Brandons" with the re-establishment of the family fortunes.
"A really excellent piece of work, ... the literary quality of Miss
Tynan's work is its chief distinction."--_Spectator_.
