Khaled, A Tale of Arabia

by F. Marion Crawford

A CIGARETTE-MAKER'S ROMANCE.

OXFORD MAGAZINE—"The idea of the story is original, the characters well drawn, and the interest sustained to the very last page. That Mr. Crawford, having a good story to tell, should tell it well, was only to be expected."

GLOBE—"We are inclined to think this the best of Mr. Marion Crawford's stories.... His art is here at its best, and those who read his book will feel grateful to him for its keen humanity."

New and Uniform Edition. Crown 8vo. Cloth. 3s. 6d. each.

ROBBERY UNDER ARMS.

A STORY OF LIFE AND ADVENTURE IN THE BUSH AND IN THE GOLD-FIELDS OF AUSTRALIA.

GUARDIAN—"A singularly spirited and stirring tale of Australian life, chiefly in the remoter settlements.... Altogether it is a capital story, full of wild adventure and startling incidents, and told with a genuine simplicity and quiet appearance of truth, as if the writer were really drawing upon his memory rather than his imagination."

SPECTATOR—"We have nothing but praise for this story. Of adventure of the most stirring kind there is, as we have said, abundance. But there is more than this. The characters are drawn with great skill. Every one of the gang of bushrangers is strongly individualised. This is a book of no common literary force."

WORLD—"An uncommonly good thing.... The book, in short, has the natural touch, both of place and person, on every page."

MORNING POST—"As a picture of the earlier days of our Australian Colonies, and as an absorbing story, 'Robbery under Arms' has few equals."

GRAPHIC—"That Mr. Boldrewood knows his subject through and through is as certain as his picture of the breaking-out of the first gold fever in Australia is the best ever written."

THE SQUATTER'S DREAM.

THE MINER'S RIGHT.

A TALE OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD-FIELDS.

WORLD—"Full of good passages, passages abounding in vivacity, in the colour and play of life.... The pith of the book lies in its singularly fresh and vivid pictures of the humours of the gold-fields,—tragic humours enough they are, too, here and again...."

MANCHESTER EXAMINER—"The characters are sketched with real life and picturesqueness. The book is lively and readable from first to last."

A COLONIAL REFORMER.

ATHENÆUM—"A series of natural and entertaining pictures of Australian life, which are, above all things, readable."

GLASGOW HERALD—"One of the most interesting books about Australia we have ever read."

SATURDAY REVIEW—"Mr. Boldrewood can tell what he knows with great point and vigour, and there is no better reading than the adventurous parts of his books."

A SYDNEY-SIDE SAXON.

GLASGOW HERALD—"The interest never flags, and altogether 'A Sydney-Side Saxon' is a really refreshing book."

ANTI-JACOBIN—"Thoroughly well worth reading.... A clever book, admirably written.... Brisk in incident, truthful and life-like in character.... Beyond and above all it has that stimulating hygienic quality, that cheerful, unconscious healthfulness, which makes a story like 'Robinson Crusoe,' or 'The Vicar of Wakefield,' so unspeakably refreshing after a course of even good contemporary fiction."

NEVERMORE.

ACADEMY—"Is perhaps the best story of the Rolf Boldrewood Series. Must be allowed to be one of the best works of the period."
