"Giannetta is a true heroine—warm-hearted, self-sacrificing, and, as all good women nowadays are, largely touched with the enthusiasm of humanity. One of the most attractive gift-books of the season."—The Academy.

A Champion Of the Faith: A Tale of Prince Hal and the Lollards. By J. M. Callwell. With 6 page Illustrations by Herbert J. Draper. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 4s.
The earlier part of this story deals with the merry escapades of Prince Hal and his favourite, Sir John Oldcastle. Then the narrative deepens in its interest when the Prince ascends the throne as Henry V., while his old comrade becomes a Lollard and a champion of the new faith. As such, Sir John Oldcastle endures many hardships, and escapes from the Tower, but finally he is captured by treachery and burnt at the stake. This historical tale is full of the most interesting episodes, while at the same time its tone is pure and ennobling.
