BOOKS OF THE WEST COUNTRY
THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER
Sometime Vicar of Morwenstow. Compiled by his Son-in-Law, /C. E.
Byles/, from hitherto unpublished manuscripts. With numerous
Illustrations, including Lithographs by /J. Ley Pethybridge/,
two Sketches by the /Earl of Carlisle/, reproductions from
contemporary Prints, Portraits, Photographs, etc. Crown 8vo. Price 7s.
6d. net.
_TIMES._--“A well-written life is not, as Carlyle declared it to
be, almost as rare as a well-spent one; it is a much rarer thing
indeed. Mr. Byles has given us a book which will earn the gratitude
of those whose love of poetry urges them to a knowledge of the
poet.... Hawker dedicated his works to Prince Posterity, and the
dedication will be accepted by many readers of the new biography,
who will find in Robert Hawker one of the knights of his own
Sangraal, ‘thorough men.’”
_MORNING POST._--“Gratitude is distinctly due to Mr. Byles for
his new life of his father-in-law.... There are many excellent
illustrations.... Mr. J. Ley Pethybridge has the very spirit of the
West Country.”
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--“As soon as the volume is opened one finds
oneself in the presence of a real original, a man of ability,
genius, and eccentricity, of whom one cannot know too much.... He
was every inch a man.... No one will read this fascinating and
charmingly produced book without thanks to Mr. Byles and a desire
to visit--or revisit--Morwenstow.”
_DAILY NEWS._--“Here at length is the authentic life--the record,
mainly in his own letters, of one of the most fascinating, wayward,
independent personalities of the nineteenth century. The man here
wrote out his heart’s confession.... The comparison is, indeed,
with Carlyle.... Each possessed a spiritual vision denied to the
common crowd; each mingles passages of eloquence and lamentation
with outbreaks of fury and a shaggy, boisterous humour. Hawker was
a unique figure in Victorian England.”
_STANDARD._--“A breezy book, with plenty of salt in it--of the sea
and of common-sense.”
CORNISH BALLADS AND OTHER POEMS
By ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER
Edited, with a Preface, by /C. E. Byles/. With numerous
Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/ and others, and a special
binding designed from oak carvings in the churches of Morwenstow and
Welcombe.
Crown 8vo, 5s. net.
_This book contains Hawker’s complete poetical works, including
several pieces previously uncollected._
_TIMES._--“‘The Quest of the Sangraal’ is an exquisitely moulded
torso ... the fragment of his epic gives him a sure place among the
poets who are only minor because their supreme moments are few.”
_ACADEMY._--“His fragment of the ‘Sangraal’ is worthy to be
compared with Tennyson’s treatment of the subject.... The excellent
popular edition.... Essential to every lover of the Cornish poet.”

FOOTPRINTS OF FORMER MEN IN FAR CORNWALL
By ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER
Edited, with an Introduction, by /C. E. Byles/, and containing
numerous Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/. Crown 8vo, 5s.
net. [Uniform with “Cornish Ballads.”]
_LITERARY WORLD._--“Reading these sketches, we come upon passages
which Ruskin himself might have written. There is in them a rare
rich flavour of the author’s individuality, something of the
atmosphere, the colour, the rugged grandeur of the coast.”
_WORLD._--“His book is a peculiarly delightful one, full of that
indescribable charm which permeates Scott’s novels.... The style
is inimitable, the anecdotes are quaint and original, and the
illustrations are well chosen and excellently reproduced; and a
word of praise is due to the tasteful binding.”

THE WINGLESS VICTORY. By /M. P. Willcocks/. Crown 8vo, 6s.
_TIMES._--“Such books are worth keeping on the shelves, even by the
classics, for they are painted in colours that do not fade.”
_OUTLOOK._--“A very remarkable work, which places Miss Willcocks in
the first rank ... a novel built to last.”
_TRIBUNE._--“Miss Willcocks’s splendid book ... a very strong and
able novel, deserving high praise and wide popularity--a novel to
read and to remember.”
_DAILY MAIL._--“‘The Wingless Victory’ stands out as something
quite out of the common.... In its grasp of character and
circumstance, in its rare wisdom, and, above all, in its unerring
insight into the deep springs of human action, it is a remarkable
achievement which entitles its author to a first place in the ranks
of contemporary novelists. This is high praise, but we venture to
prophesy it will be endorsed by critics and readers alike.”
_STANDARD._--“It is an excellent thing for any reader to come
across a book so fresh and fervent, so instinct with genuine
passion and emotion, and all the fierce primitive joys of
existence, as is the ‘The Wingless Victory’ ... really a book of
remarkable strength and glow and insight.”
_DAILY NEWS._--“Miss Willcocks shows wonderful insight into
character ... and her skill in this regard and in her descriptions
of the wild beauty of the Cornish scenery often make us feel that
she is a novelist with a great future.”
_ACADEMY._--“Mr. John Lane is to be congratulated on having
discovered Miss Willcocks, and if her latest work is not a great
success, it will not be creditable to the discernment of the
reading public.”

WIDDICOMBE: A Novel. By /M. P. Willcocks/. Crown 8vo, 6s.
_MORNING POST._--“The characterisation is both discriminating and
subtle.”
_EVENING STANDARD._--“Wonderfully alive ... a fine, rather unusual
novel. There are some striking studies of women.”
* * * * *
A CHILD OF THE SHORE: A Romance of Cornwall. By S. M. Fox. Crown 8vo,
6s.
_MORNING LEADER._--“A remarkable book, glowing, fanciful, and
fantastic by turns.”
_OUTLOOK._--“An unusually good piece of imaginative work.”
* * * * *
THE FISHERS: A Novel. By /J. H. Harris/. Crown 8vo. 6s.
_MORNING POST._--“A notable book.”
_TIMES._--“A fascinating story; the author is thoroughly well
informed as to his subject.”
* * * * *
THE CHRONICLE OF A CORNISH GARDEN. By /Harry Roberts/. With 7
Full-page Illustrations and a Cover Design by _F. L. Griggs._ Crown
8vo, 5s. net.
_THE LITERARY WORLD._--“The Chronicle is written in a frank,
unaffected style, and will suggest useful ideas to other garden
lovers.”
SIR BEVILL
By ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER THYNNE
With 7 Illustrations by /J. Ley Pethybridge/, and a Portrait of
Sir Bevill Granville after Vandyck.
Crown 8vo, 6s.
_ACADEMY._--“Altogether delightful, setting the reader amid broom
and heather on the Devon moors, or by the sounding sea on the
Cornish coast.... All the everyday life is admirably rendered, and
many of the side characters are brilliantly sketched.”
_SATURDAY REVIEW._--“Master Teague is almost as magnificent in
his hypocritical villainy as our old friend Trusty Tomkins of
‘Woodstock.’ ... The stag hunt, the witch hunt, the gipsy camp, the
Court masque, and the battle are admirable.”
_OUTLOOK._--“A very living and lovable bit of work, sweet with the
scent of heather and breath of the sea.”
_DAILY MAIL._--“A rollicking good romance of Stuart days.”
_DAILY EXPRESS._--“Well written, exciting, and breezy of the
western moors.”
/Mr. G. R. SIMS/, in _REFEREE_.--“A most delightful book,
the work of an old friend of mine, Canon Thynne, who has, in ‘Sir
Bevill,’ told with skill and charm and authority, a story of
the days of Charles I. I have spent some sleepless nights very
pleasantly with ‘Sir Bevill.’”
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--“The author describes well, and has the gift of
telling incident.”
