In this delightful fantasia a young peer, on the eve of his marriage, walks out of his park into the world of common folk, and in the adventures which follow finds that zest for life which he had hitherto found wanting.
BROTHERS. H. A. Vachell.
The publishers are happy to be able to add to the Nelson Library Mr. Vachell's most famous novel, one of the most successful of recent years. It is a brilliant study of character, full of drama and profound humanity.
THE EXPLOITS OF BRIGADIER GERARD. A. Conan Doyle.
The doings of this soldier of Napoleon have long been among Sir A. Conan Doyle's most popular achievements in the art of fiction. As Mr. Merriman's Barlasch represents the graver type of French veteran, so Brigadier Gerard represents the dash and braggadocio of the Grande Armée.
WHITE HEATHER. William Black.
This charming love story is one of the most popular of Mr. Black's romances of Highland life and sport.
SIMON DALE. Anthony Hope.
This is Mr. Anthony Hope's only historical novel. It deals with the Court of Charles II., and gives a brilliant picture of that complex age, relieved by a charming love story.
A GENTLEMAN OF FRANCE. Stanley J. Weyman.
