"Kentucky in its rural aspects and with its noble men and women forms the scenery for this romance of quaintness and homeliness which lovingly interprets the career of a country doctor who has lost faith in life but not in ideals. Incidentally the author has interpreted the new spirit of American childhood in its relation to the miracles and legends and lore of other lands and older times, which have through the centuries gathered about the great Christmas festival of the Nativity."—New York Times.
"What so many have so long hoped Mr. Allen would do he has accomplished in this work, namely, a description of Kentucky and the bluegrass farms as seen by a youngster."—New York American.

Nathan Burke
Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
"It is sometimes said that one of the best tests of a good novel, as it is of a well-planned meal, is how you feel at the end. Are you satisfied or do you wish that at some time the performance may be repeated? When one is through with 'Nathan Burke,' one thinks, I'd like to read it right over again."—Columbia Dispatch.
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE'S
A Certain Rich Man
Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
"This novel has a message for to-day, and for its brilliant character drawing, and that gossipy desultory style of writing that stamps Mr. White's literary work, will earn a high place in fiction. It is good and clean and provides a vacation from the cares of the hour. It resembles a Chinese play, because it begins with the hero's boyhood, describes his long, busy life, and ends with his death. Its tone is often religious, never flippant, and one of its best assets is its glowing descriptions of the calm, serene beauties of nature. Its moral is that a magnate never did any real good with money."—Oregonian, Portland, Ore.
