Stories by
MARY GRANT BRUCE
Large Crown 8vo. Fully Illustrated. Cloth Gilt.
POSSUM
Mrs. Bruce writes with a freedom and grace which must win hosts of readers, and there is a lovableness about her Australian youths and maidens which makes one never tired of their healthy and sociable views of life.
JIM AND WALLY
“There can be no doubt about the success of Miss Bruce . . . real pathos which gets hold of the reader, and her effects are obtained in a real natural way that makes them all the more telling. She evidently knows the up-country life . . . she grips the attention from start to finish.”—Melbourne Argus.
A LITTLE BUSH MAID
“It is a real pleasure to recommend this story to Australian readers.”—Perth Western Mail.
MATES AT BILLABONG
“The incidents of station life, its humours, festivities, and mishaps, are admirably sketched in this vivid narrative.”—Adelaide Register.
TIMOTHY IN BUSHLAND
“The writer understands all about the wonders of the Australian bush, its wild horses, kangaroos, wombats, and infinitely various natural life.”—Daily Telegraph.
GLEN EYRE
“An admirable story, exquisitely told, full of gentle pathos, and ringing true all through.”—The Sportsman.
NORAH OF BILLABONG
“The story is written in a refreshing and lovable manner, which makes instant appeal.”—Manchester Courier.
GRAY’S HOLLOW
“A story always healthy and enjoyable in its sympathetic delineation of unsophisticated nature.”—The Scotsman.
FROM BILLABONG TO LONDON
“The story has many more incidents than Mrs. Bruce’s earlier books, and though her style is quiet and matter-of-fact, she does succeed in infusing reality into her exciting episodes.”—The Melbourne Argus.
