PLAYING AT BOTANY. By Phœbe Allen, Author of “Gilmory” &c. With Coloured Frontispiece by Maud Naftel.

BY MARY E. HULLAH, AUTHOR OF “THE LION BATTALION.”

PHILIPPA. With Frontispiece by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo. 5s.

“After much weary reading of the numerous works provided in such overwhelming quantities by the publishers at this season of the year, the reviewer is strongly tempted to overpraise a work so fresh, artless, and finished as Miss Hullah’s ‘Philippa.’ The clever authoress is a delightful story-teller. For originality of treatment, quiet sense of humour, and literary style, ‘Philippa’ rises far above the mass of mediocrity flooding the book market.”—Public Opinion.

BY KATHARINE S. MACQUOID, AUTHOR OF “PATTY” &c.

JOAN WENTWORTH. With Illustrations by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo. 6s.

“An admirable study of girl life.”—Athenæum.

“It is a real pleasure to come across so thoroughly bright and piquant a girl’s book. The story is very charming, and we feel sure will prove a source of great enjoyment.”—Literary World.
