The thing has never been done before. It is the first novel setting forth the whole world of the Ghetto and the emergence of the younger generation into the larger world of American life.
It has the Potash and Perlmutter laugh, and the tears of the sufferers of all ages.
A work of genuine humour and understanding realism.
THE QUEST OF MICHAEL HARLAND, by Nora Kent. Crown 8vo, 8/6.
In reviewing Miss Kent’s previous novel, “The Greater Dawn,” Land and Water said: “Mrs. Florence Barclay and Miss Ethel M. Dell have cause to tremble.” Her new story has the same fragrance and delicacy of sentiment that attracted readers in “The Greater Dawn,” and will, we feel confident, increase their number.
GARTH, by Mrs. J. O. Arnold. Crown 8vo, 8/6.
Times.—“A thoroughly well-told ghost story.... It is admittedly exceptional and inexplicable, and in that lies its thrill.”
Sheffield Telegraph.—“A very clever and exciting piece of work. Good ghost stories are none too common, and this one is very good.”
