And Two Other Stories. By Thomas Archer. With 3 full-page Illustrations by J. J. Proctor. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2s.
A thrilling-little drama of real life, of child life, of the life of a poor neighbourhood with sordid surroundings, and perhaps fuller of suggestion than many more pretentious tales. It stirs the emotions by representing actual scenes and possible people, with the peculiarities and habits that belong to them and make them easily recognized.
MISS GRANTLEY'S GIRLS,
And the Stories She Told Them. By Thomas Archer. With 2 Illustrations by Gordon Browne. Cr. 8vo, cloth ex., 1s. 6d.
The stories that Miss Grantley tells to her girls, during pleasant evenings after school, are such as are likely to prove attractive to the girls in other schools. They are small romances of real life with a good deal of genuine pathos and exciting incident in them, and are eminently suited for family reading or for tales to tell out of school as Miss Grantley told them.
