MENHARDOC
A Story of Cornish Nets and Mines. By George Manville Fenn. With 6 full-page Illustrations by C. J. Staniland, R.I. Crown 8vo, $1.00.
The scene of this story is laid among the granite piles and tors of Cornwall. Adventures are pretty plentiful, but the story has for its strong base the development of character of the three boys. The sketches of Cornish life and local coloring are based upon experience in the bay, whose fishing village is called here Menhardoc. This is a thoroughly English story of phases of life but little touched upon in boy's literature up to the present time.
