"Next to an original sea-tale of sustained interest come well-sketched collections of maritime disaster and suffering which awaken the sympathies by the realism of fact. 'Stories of the Sea,' are a very good specimen of the kind, and some of the chapters which are pleasantly written are altogether fresh to us."—The Times.
"Many boys will appreciate this book, as the adventures of impossible boy pirates are not equal in interest to much of the simple truth here told."—Athenæum.
ADVENTURES IN FIELD, FLOOD, & FOREST:
Stories of Danger and Daring. With 4 full-page Illustrations by Frank Feller. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2s. 6d.
Incidents of daring, hardship, and danger have ever had, and doubtless always will have a powerful fascination for the youthful mind, and these narratives of real personal experience in "Field, Flood, and Forest," while in no sense fictitious, will be found quite as exciting and more truly interesting than the most cunningly devised fables.
"One of the series of books for young people which Messrs. Blackie excel in producing. The editor has beyond all question succeeded admirably. The present book cannot fail to be read with interest and advantage."—Academy.
"All admirably told. It will be counted one of the best of the story-books that Christmas produces."—Scotsman.
