BEVERLY OF GRAUSTARK. By George Barr McCutcheon. With Color Frontispiece and other illustrations by Harrison Fisher. Beautiful inlay picture in colors of Beverly on the cover.
“The most fascinating, engrossing and picturesque of the season’s novels.”—Boston Herald. “‘Beverly’ is altogether charming—almost living flesh and blood.”—Louisville Times. “Better than ‘Graustark’.”—Mail and Express. “A sequel quite as impossible as ‘Graustark’ and quite as entertaining.”—Bookman. “A charming love story well told.”—Boston Transcript[.]
HALF A ROGUE. By Harold MacGrath. With illustrations and inlay cover picture by Harrison Fisher.
“Here are dexterity of plot, glancing play at witty talk, characters really human and humanly real, spirit and gladness, freshness and quick movement. ‘Half a Rogue’ is as brisk as a horseback ride on a glorious morning. It is as varied as an April day. It is as charming as two most charming girls can make it. Love and honor and success and all the great things worth fighting for and living for the involved in ‘Half a Rogue.’”—Phila. Press.
THE GIRL FROM TIM’S PLACE. By Charles Clark Munn. With illustrations by Frank T. Merrill.
“Figuring in the pages of this story there are several strong characters. Typical New England folk and an especially sturdy one, old Cy Walker, through whose instrumentality Chip comes to happiness and fortune. There is a chain of comedy, tragedy, pathos and love, which makes a dramatic story.”—Boston Herald.
THE LION AND THE MOUSE. A story of American Life. By Charles Klein, and Arthur Hornblow. With illustrations by Stuart Travis, and Scenes from the Play.
The novel duplicated the success of the play; in fact the book is greater than the play. A portentous clash of dominant personalties that form the essence of the play are necessarily touched upon but briefly in the short space of four acts. All this is narrated in the novel with a wealth of fascinating and absorbing detail, making it one of the most powerfully written and exciting works of fiction given to the world in years.
