NOVELETTES AND NOVELS.
For want of a better title, we give this to tales fit for the growing maidens who are beyond the child story, and, above all, need to have their ideal of love and courtship elevated and refined. A few actual novels are added, in case it is thought desirable to put them into a library where the readers are of a somewhat superior class, as where there are the older girls and young women who will read what is mischievous if the good is not supplied.
518. Christopher. By Helen Shipton. (S.P.C.K.) 3s. 6d.
A very beautiful imitation of the legend of St. Christopher carried into modern life.
519. The Valley Mill. (S.P.C.K.) 2s.
Farm life, where the obstacles in the course of true love are the cattle plague and a strange robbery of an old miser. The young heiress, popularly called ‘the little Squire,’ is a charming portrait.
520. From Over the Water. (Walter Smith) 6s.
A Scotch bailiff meeting with strong insular prejudice in the Isle of Wight.
521. Rufus. (Masters) 4s. 6d.
