“John Strange Winter is never more thoroughly at home than when delineating the characters of children, and everyone will be delighted with the dignified Madge and the quaint Pearl. The book is mainly occupied with the love affairs of Terry (the soldier servant who appears in many of the preceding books), but the children buzz in and out of its pages much as they would come in and out of a room in real life, pervading and brightening the house in which they dwell.”—Leicester Daily Post.
THE CONFESSIONS OF A PUBLISHER.
“The much discussed question of the relations between a publisher and his clients furnishes Mr John Strange Winter with material for one of the brightest tales of the season. Abel Drinkwater’s autobiography is written from a humorous point of view; yet here, as elsewhere, ‘many a true word is spoken in jest,’ and in the conversations of the publisher and his too ingenuous son, facts come to light that are worthy of the attention of aspirants to literary fame.”—Morning Post.
MIGNON’S HUSBAND. (14th Edition.)
“It is a capital love story, full of high spirits, and written in a dashing style that will charm the most melancholy of readers into hearty enjoyment of its fun.”—Scotsman.
THAT IMP. (12th Edition.)
“Barrack life is abandoned for the nonce, and the author of ‘Bootles’ Baby’ introduces readers to a country home replete with every comfort and containing men and women whose acquaintanceship we can only regret can never blossom into friendship.”—Whitehall Review.
“This charming little book is bright and breezy, and has the ring of supreme truth about it.”—Vanity Fair.
MIGNON’S SECRET. (17th Edition.)
“In ‘Mignon’s Secret’ Mr Winter has supplied a continuation to the never-to-be-forgotten ‘Bootles’ Baby.’ ... The story is gracefully and touchingly told.”—John Bull.
