What books to lend and what to give

by Charlotte M. Yonge

Supposed to be the diary of Margaret Roper. A charming book.

423. The Knevets. By Emily Taylor. (Houlston) 2s. 6d.

Norfolk in early Reformation days. Well and fairly drawn.

424. Lady of the Lake. By Sir Walter Scott.

425. Marmion. By Sir Walter Scott.

Though poems, neither of these should be left out from the course.

426. The Prince and the Pauper. By Mark Twain. (Chatto & Windus) 7s. 6d.

This most diverting book, exchanging Edward VI. for a little street boy, has one grievous flaw—it marries a man to his sister-in-law, but only in the last two pages, and with so little preparation that the passage might be extirpated without anyone missing them.

427. The Tower of London. By W. Harrison Ainsworth. (Routledge) 1s., 2s. and 3s. 6d.
