hat that book did for the Scotland of Ian Maclaren and

"A LAD OF THE O'FRIEL'S"
This is a story of Donegal ways and customs; full of the spirit of Irish
life. The main character is a dreaming and poetic boy who takes joy in
all the stories and superstitions of his people, and his experience and
life are thus made to reflect all the essential qualities of the life of
his country. Many characters in the book will make warm places for
themselves in the heart of the reader.
By Joel Chandler Harris
GABRIEL TOLLIVER
A story filled with the true flavor of Southern life. The first
important novel by the creator of "Uncle Remus." Those who have loved
Mr. Harris's children's stories, will find in this story of boy and girl
love in Georgia during the troublous Reconstruction period, the same
genial and kindly spirit, the same quaintly humorous outlook on life
that characterizes his earlier work. A host of charming people, with
whom it is a privilege to become acquainted, crowd the pages, and their
characters, thoughts and doings are sketched in a manner quite
suggestive of Dickens. The fawn-like Nan is one of the most winsome of
characters in fiction, and the dwarf negress, Tasma Tid, is a weird
sprite that only Mr. Harris could have created.
"A novel which ranks Mr. Harris as the Dickens of the
South."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
"It is a pretty love-story, artistically wrought, a natural,
healthy love-story, full of Joel Chandler Harris's inimitable
naivete."--_Atlanta Constitution.
