EDEN PHILLPOTTS

The Thief of VirtueCloth.12mo.$1.50

"If living characters, perfect plot construction, imaginative breadth of canvas and absolute truth to life are the primary qualities of great realistic fiction, Mr. Phillpotts is one of the greatest novelists of the day.... He goes on turning out one brilliant novel after another, steadily accomplishing for Devon what Mr. Hardy did for Wessex. This is another of Mr. Phillpotts' Dartmoor novels, and one that will rank with his best.... Something of kinship with 'King Lear' and 'Pere Goriot.'"—Chicago Record Herald.

"The Balzac of Dartmore. It is easy and true to say that Mr. Phillpotts in all his work has done no single piece of portraiture better than this presentation of Philip Ouldsbroom.... A triumph of the novelist's understanding and keen drawing.... A Dartmoor background described in terms of an artist's deeply felt appreciation.—New York World.

"No other English writer has painted such fascinating and colorful word-pictures of Dartmoor's heaths and hills, woods and vales, and billowy plains of pallid yellow and dim green. Few others have attempted such vivid character-portrayal as marks this latest work from beginning to end."—The North American.

"A strong book, flashing here and there with beautiful gems of poetry.... Providing endless food for thought.... An intellectual treat."—London Evening Standard.

The HavenCloth.12mo.$1.50

"The foremost English novelist with the one exception of Thomas Hardy.... His descriptions of the sea and his characterization of the fisher folks are picturesque, true to life, full of humorous philosophy."—Jeannette L. Gilder in The Chicago Tribune.

"It is no dry bones of a chronicle, but touched by genius to life and vividness."—Louisville, Kentucky, Post.

"A close, thoughtful study of universal human nature."—The Outlook.

"One of the best of this author's many works."—The Bookman.

A TRILOGY OF ANGLO-INDIAN
ARMY LIFE

New York Times: "Above the multitude of novels (erotic and neurotic) hers shine like stars. She has produced a comprehensive and full drama of life, rich in humanity; noble, satisfying—it is not too much to say great."

The Argonaut (San Francisco): "We doubt if any other writer gives us so composite and convincing a picture of that curious mixture of soldier and civilian that makes up Indian society. She shows us the life of the country from many standpoints, giving us the idea of a storehouse of experience so well stocked that incidents can be selected with a fastidious and dainty care."

London Morning Post: "Vigor of characterization accompanied by an admirable terseness and simplicity of expression."

Literary World: "Undoubtedly some of the finest novels that Indian life has produced."

London Telegraph: "Some sincere pictures of Indian life which are as real and convincing as any which have entered into the pages of fiction."

The Chicago Tribune: "The characterization is excellent and her presentation of frontier life and of social conditions produces a strong impression of truth."

Boston Evening Transcript: "Knows absolutely the life that she depicts. Her characters are excellently portrayed."

Chicago Record Herald: "Well told; the humanization good and the Indian atmosphere, always dramatic, is effectively depicted. Holds the attention without a break."
