Paradise Row.
Paradise Row, and some of its Inhabitants. By W. J. Wintle. A series of powerfully painted sketches of North Country life. 240 pages, crown 8vo, cloth, gilt top, 3s. 6d.
"To adequately express the power and the pathos of these simply told sketches, is quite beyond the scope of a review, for they rouse all that is best and all that is most sacred in our common humanity, making us feel more than the grandest rhetoric could, the brotherhood of man. Some of the characters are real heroes, and one rises from the perusal of the book with a greater respect for the men who devote their lives to Christian work in the noisome dens of our populous places, and with a large hope for the ultimate redemption of mankind."—North British Daily Mail.
"This is a volume of sketches of North Country life, very vigorously drawn, and full of pathos well relieved with humour. It shows throughout a large power of sympathy and great breadth of thought."—Spectator.
"We commend this book as both literature and life. Those who wish to know how the poor live and love cannot do better than read 'Paradise Row.'"—Methodist Times.
"The work of a deep thinker and a cultured writer."—Black and White.
Butterfly Ballads.
Butterfly Ballads and Stories in Rhyme. By Helen Atteridge. With Sixty-five Illustrations by Gordon Browne, Louis Wain, H. R. Millar, and others. 142 pages, foolscap 4to, designed cover, cloth gilt, gilt edges, 3s. 6d.
"These real ballads are very clever indeed; we feel sure 'Ethelinda Gray' and 'The Boy that went to Sea' will live in the upper circles of juvenility for many a long day. 'The Doll's Dance' ought to be as widely read and as keenly appreciated as 'The Butterfly's Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast,' which was the delight of the children of fifty years ago. The illustrations are numerous and admirable."—World.
"A delightful collection of stories in verse for little ones. It is exactly what it professes to be, and does not indulge in metaphysics for infants, and every little one who has the good fortune to have the volume given it will be happy for a long time."—St. James's Gazette.
"'Butterfly Ballads' are by no means inappropriately named. They are light and bright, and go fluttering along easily. The illustrations are specially clever; the dogs, the children, and the old folks are all full of character and spirit."—Times.
"Will speedily be learned by heart, and repeated in the firelight to a breathless audience."—Lady.
