THE AFFAIR AT THE INN. By Kate Douglas Wiggin. With illustrations by
Martin Justice.
"As superlatively clever in the writing as it is entertaining in the
reading. It is actual comedy of the most artistic sort, and it is
handled with a freshness and originality that is unquestionably
novel."_--Boston Transcript_. "A feast of humor and good cheer, yet
subtly pervaded by special shades of feeling, fancy, tenderness, or
whimsicality. A merry thing in prose."_--St. Louis Democrat_.
ROSE O' THE RIVER. By Kate Douglas Wiggin. With illustrations by George
Wright.
"'Rose o' the River,' a charming bit of sentiment, gracefully written
and deftly touched with a gentle humor. It is a dainty book--daintily
illustrated."--_New York Tribune_. "A wholesome, bright, refreshing
story, an ideal book to give a young girl."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
"An idyllic story, replete with pathos and inimitable humor. As
story-telling it is perfection, and as portrait-painting it is true to
the life."--_London Mail_.
TILLIE: A Mennonite Maid. By Helen R. Martin. With illustrations by
Florence Scovel Shinn.
The little "Mennonite Maid" who wanders through these pages is
something quite new in fiction. Tillie is hungry for books and beauty
and love; and she comes into her inheritance at the end. "Tillie is
faulty, sensitive, big-hearted, eminently human, and first, last and
always lovable. Her charm glows warmly, the story is well handled, the
characters skilfully developed."--_The Book Buyer_.
LADY ROSE'S DAUGHTER. By Mrs. Humphry Ward. With illustrations by Howard
Chandler Christy.
"The most marvellous work of its wonderful author."--_New York World_.
"We touch regions and attain altitudes which it is not given to the
ordinary novelist even to approach."--_London Times_. "In no other
story has Mrs. Ward approached the brilliancy and vivacity of Lady
Rose's Daughter."--_North American Review_.
THE BANKER AND THE BEAR. By Henry K. Webster.
"An exciting and absorbing story."--_New York Times_. "Intensely
thrilling in parts, but an unusually good story all through. There is
a love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings, there is a
run on the bank which is almost worth a year's growth, and there is
all manner of exhilarating men and deeds which should bring the book
into high and permanent favor."--_Chicago Evening Post_.
