With Photogravure Frontispiece by HAROLD COPPING. THIRD EDITION. Crown
8vo, cloth, 6s.
"Exceptionally powerful, vivid, and realistic.... Sketched with a
generous hand and bold touches, the characters hold trie reader's
sympathies throughout. The most graphic, vigorous, and lifelike
presentment of Russian administrative barbarity which we recollect to
have ever come across."--_Daily Telegraph_.
A Princess of Vascovy.
Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"Mr. Oxenham tells a good exciting story with great swing and zest. It
seems almost unnecessary to recommend a story that is in every way
worthy of the pen that produced 'Barbe of Grand Bayou.' 'A Princess of
Vascovy' is just as picturesquely romantic and just as full of
incident and adventure as Mr. Oxenham's most famous
work."--_Athenaum_.
White Fire.
Red cloth, 2s. net; red leather, 2s. 6d. net.
"'White Fire' combines religion and adventure; but the date is modern,
and the admirable missionary and his undaunted wife and comrades
protect their converts in the South Seas from kidnappers and other
pests with the aid of Maxims and Winchester rifles. Mr. John Oxenham
has already proved his descriptive and analytic powers, and these
strong-hearted champions of morality are not less original than their
surroundings are romantic. A tidal wave is among the trials of the
hero's constancy. The illustrations by Mr. Grenville Manton are
good."--_Athenaum_.
Barbe of Grand Bayou.
Red cloth, 2s. net; red leather, 2s. 6d. net.
"There is a fascination about Mr. John Oxenham's books which grows
upon one. Barbe is a clean-cut, fine drawn character, human, alive,
womanly, real. Her history is so simply related, with such convincing
straightforwardness that one is bound to admit it could not have
happened otherwise. It had to be. The tribulations of the pair of
lovers are delightfully set forth with the art of the true story
teller. Quite one of the best books of the winter season; worth buying
and reading; not merely ordering from the library."--_Academy_.
Giant Circumstance.
Illustrated by CHARLES HORRELL.
THIRD EDITION. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"A hearty and manly book, written in telling style of which Mr.
Oxenham has proved himself a master."--_Times_.
"Told in Mr. Oxenham's usual spirited and vivid style. Those who
relish a good story well told will welcome 'Giant Circumstance,' and
will set it on a level with the best of Mr. Oxenham's
books."--_British Weekly._
"A good story--should prove popular."--_Athenæum_.
"Bright, healthy, and interesting, will strengthen his position in the
regard of readers who like a good story of the doings of wholesome
unexaggerated characters."--_Daily Telegraph_.
Rising Fortunes.
Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
Carette of Sark.
Illustrated. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"All who either know the Channel Islands or love a full-blooded,
exciting story, should speedily make the acquaintance of
Carette."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
"No one who likes tales of adventure--and who does not--could wish for
a better tale than this. It is of Sark, in the beginning of last
century, when its people were peaceable and law-abiding, save on the
question of 'free trade' and when privateering was a legitimate
business; so naturally adventurers were more easily come by than in
conventional days like these. The youth who tells the tale, one Philip
Carré by name, comes by them all too easily for his liking. He is
scarcely out of one peril before he is into another, and quite
split-hairbreadth are his escapes from the Terrible Torode of Herm.
And it is all on account of Carette, charming Carette, the pride of
the island, and worth many dangers to win."--_Daily Chronicle_.
