By CHARLES TURLEY
One of the very best of boys' books. It is one of the rarest of all rare things—a thoroughly sensible school story. The boys are human, neither saints nor super-sinners, and the masters for once behave in a totally reasonable way. And that doesn't prevent it being a rattling good story.
THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE
By STEPHEN CRANE
Author of "The Open Boat," etc.
The thunders of war, the life of regiments, the soul of humanity in stress and dangers, its qualities and shortcomings are all written on the pages of this thrilling and absorbing book. From the first paragraph our enthusiasm is gained and is not let go till the last.
"Simply unapproached in intimate knowledge and sustained imaginative strength."—Sat. Review.
The STREET of ADVENTURE
By PHILIP GIBBS
The "Street" is Fleet Street of course, for in what other are so many adventures to be found. The Evening Standard says: "It has the quality of big work.... The book positively pants with life."
