Mr. Benson has returned to the field which he developed with such signal success in “Dodo,” and his new novel reveals a brilliancy, social knowledge, and worldly wisdom that show how much the author has grown in force and pungency since the appearance of his first book.
The Luck of the Vails.
A Romance. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“If Mr. Benson continues to write novels as interesting as this latest product from his pen—stories that will hold the attention of the reader as absorbingly as this one is sure to do—he is very likely to win a name among English fiction writers that shall be as lasting as—say, the name of Wilkie Collins.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
Mammon & Co.
12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“Mr. Benson writes from intimate knowledge and the inside. He is a part of the very society which he openly censures.... His novel stands out as a strong bit of work in which he is very much at home. Its brilliant sayings and clever epigrams give it a finish and polish which are even more effective than the setting itself. What is more, Mr. Benson sees with a great deal of heart the tragedy of human experience, and writes of it feelingly.”—Boston Herald.
Dodo.
A Detail of the Day. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00; paper, 50 cents.
“‘Dodo’ is a delightfully witty sketch of the ‘smart’ people of society.... The writer is a true artist.”—London Spectator.
