No. 5 JOHN STREET. Richard Whiteing.
This book, which first brought Mr. Whiteing into fame, is the most realistic and powerful of modern studies of slum life.
CLEMENTINA. A. E. W. Mason.
The story of the romantic love match of the Old Pretender, the father of Prince Charlie, and how the bride was stolen and carried to Italy by the inimitable Captain Wogan. Mr. Mason is the true successor of the late Mr. Seton Merriman, and no man living can tell a better tale.
THE AMERICAN PRISONER. Eden Phillpotts.
A story of the great war with Napoleon. The scene is laid mainly in Devon, and since “Lorna Doone” there has been no better picture of the West Country and its people.
JOHN CHARITY. H. A. Vachell.
A story of California in the old days of the Spanish dominion.
LADY AUDLEY’S SECRET. Miss Braddon.
Miss Braddon’s first, best, and most powerful story—a story that shares with “East Lynne” the distinction of being the most widely-read novel of modern times.
