In "Concert Pitch" Frank Danby has again written a love story of unflagging interest, full of thrilling passages and rich in the romance of real life. The book is crowded with types etched in with masterly fidelity of vision and sureness of touch, with feminine subtlety as well as virile audacity. Frank Danby's skill in making vividly real the people and conditions of London has never been shown to a better advantage than in her new novel.

It is to be doubted whether there is a more popular animal writer to-day than Charles G. D. Roberts, whose stories of the inhabitants of forests and streams are read with pleasure by young and old alike. In this book are brought together some of his most interesting tales. The bear, the bat, the seal, the moose, the rabbit, and other animals are here made vivid in their life and habits. Mr. Roberts has true imaginative touches in his way of writing about the woods and their denizens. But he is not open to the charge of misrepresenting the facts in order to make a good story. As one well-known critic said, "He does not, in giving animals life, turn them into half humans; but he takes their pathos, their tragedy, their drama, on the animal level and writes for them as though they had their own interpreter whispering in his ear."
