THE HUMAN CIRCUS
By J. MILLS WHITHAM
Author of ‘Fruit of Earth.’
In his new novel, Mr Mills Whitham, while developing his realistic art, leaves sombre tragedy for picaresque comedy. The tale carries the girl Zillah through early years in a North Devon hamlet, adventures on Exmoor, the roads, and at the West Country Fairs, excitements in London, and leaves her back again at the hamlet, ripe in her own wisdom. Peasants, show-folk, gipsies, nimble vagabonds, philosophers and fools, make their bow and enliven the Circus.

SIR LIMPIDUS
By MARMADUKE PICKTHALL
Author of ‘Oriental Encounters,’ etc.
A Novel of the plenteous days before the war. The author has essayed the high imaginative task of investing the established order with the mantle of romance. It is not the mantle of Don Quixote nor of Tartarin de Tarascon: but it is the best and gayest cloak of humour which the author could devise consistently with the sentiments of awe and reverence with which he naturally approached the subject.
