THE PRIDE OF JENNICO. Being a Memoir of Captain Basil Jennico.
"What separates it from most books of its class is its distinction of
manner, its unusual grace of diction, its delicacy of touch, and the
fervent charm of its love passages. It is a very attractive piece of
romantic fiction relying for its effect upon character rather than
incident, and upon vivid dramatic presentation."--_The Dial_. "A
stirring, brilliant and dashing story."--_The Outlook_.
THE SECRET ORCHARD. Illustrated by Charles D. Williams.
The "Secret Orchard" is set in the midst of the ultra modern society.
The scene is in Paris, but most of the characters are English
speaking. The story was dramatized in London, and in it the Kendalls
scored a great theatrical success.
"Artfully contrived and full of romantic charm * * * it possesses
ingenuity of incident, a figurative designation of the unhallowed
scenes in which unlicensed love accomplishes and wrecks faith and
happiness."--_Athenaeum_.
YOUNG APRIL. With illustrations by A. B. Wenzell.
"It is everything that a good romance should be, and it carries about
it an air or distinction both rare and delightful."--_Chicago
Tribune_. "With regret one turns to the last page of this delightful
novel, so delicate in its romance, so brilliant in its episodes, so
sparkling in its art, and so exquisite in its diction."--_Worcester
Spy_.
FLOWER O' THE ORANGE. With frontispiece.
We have learned to expect from these fertile authors novels graceful
in form, brisk in movement, and romantic in conception. This carries
the reader back to the days of the bewigged and beruffled gallants of
the seventeenth century and tells him of feats of arms and adventures
in love as thrilling and picturesque, yet delicate, as the utmost
seeker of romance may ask.
MY MERRY ROCKHURST. Illustrated by Arthur E. Becher.
"In the eight stories of a courtier of King Charles Second, which are
here gathered together, the Castles are at their best, reviving all
the fragrant charm of those books, like _The Pride of Jennico_, in
which they first showed an instinct, amounting to genius, for sunny
romances. The book is absorbing * * * and is as spontaneous in feeling
as it is artistic in execution."--_New York Tribune_.
