The little "Mennonite Maid" who wanders through these pages is
something quite new in fiction. Tillie is hungry for books and
beauty and love; and she comes into her inheritance at the end.
"Tillie is faulty, sensitive, big-hearted, eminently human, and
first, last and always lovable. Her charm glows warmly, the story
is well handled, the characters skilfully developed."—The Book
Buyer.
LADY ROSE'S DAUGHTER. By Mrs. Humphry Ward. With illustrations by Howard Chandler Christy.
"The most marvellous work of its wonderful author."—New York
World. "We touch regions and attain altitudes which it is not
given to the ordinary novelist even to approach."—London Times.
"In no other story has Mrs. Ward approached the brilliancy and
vivacity of Lady Rose's Daughter."—North American Review.
THE BANKER AND THE BEAR. By Henry K. Webster.
"An exciting and absorbing story."—New York Times. "Intensely
thrilling in parts, but an unusually good story all through. There
is a love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings, there
is a run on the bank which is almost worth a year's growth, and
there is all manner of exhilarating men and deeds which should
bring the book into high and permanent favor."—Chicago Evening
Post.
