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._
