iginal, and the characters are very unique. There is something striking on every page of the book.--_Newark Advertiser_. A more vivacious light novel could not be found.--_Chicago Record-Herald_. Illustrated by I.H. Caliga. 360 pages. 12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50. LITTLE, BROWN, & CO., Publishers, BOSTON _At all Booksellers'_ _An Ingenious and Engrossing Romance_ THE PRINCESS THORA By HARRIS BURLAND _Author of "Dacobra." Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50_ A remarkably absorbing romance, conceived and planned with fine imagination, yet carried out with all the vivid actuality and plausibility of the most prosaic "detective" story. The nearest counterpart of this engrossing and very unusual narrative is perhaps to be found in the work that first made Rider Haggard famous, though the story owes literally nothing to anything that has gone before, so startlingly novel is its theme and so boldly convincing is its execution. _A Romance of Early Michigan_ THE WOLVERINE By ALBERT L. LAWRENCE _Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50_ A spirited story of love and politics, with its scenes laid in Detroit just before Michigan became a state, and when disputes over the Ohio boundary line nearly led to open warfare. Perry North, a young surveyor of Puritan ideas, is sent to Detroit when he falls in love with Marie Beaucoeur, a charming French girl, of the Catholic faith. The English and French characters are strongly contrasted, the incidents are novel, and the story makes a continuous impression of actuality. LITTLE, BROWN, & CO., Publishers, BOSTON _At all Booksellers'_ _Richard Le Gallienne's New Book_ PAINTED SHADOWS By the Author of "The Love-Letters of the King," etc. 12mo. $1.50 Mr. Le Gallienne's new book displays in a remarkable degree his fine imagination, charming style, and the high quality of his verse. "The Youth of Lady Constantia," "The Wandering Home," "The Shadow of the Rose," "Beauty's Portmanteau," and "Old Silver" are equal to his best work, and the story which bears the title "Poet take Thy Lute" will appeal especially to those who love what is best and most beautiful in literature. _The Heroine with the Marvellous Voice_ SWEET PEGGY By LINNIE SARAH HARRIS _With frontispiece. 12mo. $1.50_ A summer idyll, with love, music, and nature for its themes, and the mountains and lakes for its scenes. The heroine, Peggy, is charming, fresh, and unconventional,
