HERBERT STRANG'S
BOOKS FOR BOYS
"Mr. Strang is the legitimate successor to the late Mr. Henty. There were many chapters of Henty's, however, which boys were prone to 'skip'; they will not be tempted to skip anything of Mr. Strang's."—BIRMINGHAM POST.
Humphrey Bold: His Chances and Mischances by Land and Sea
Illustrated in Colour by W. H. MARGETSON. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6/-. Special Presentation Edition, 7/6 net.
In this story are recounted the many adventures that befell Mr. Humphrey Bold of Shrewsbury, from the time when, a puny slip of a boy, he was befriended by Joe Punchard, the cooper's apprentice (who nearly shook the life out of his tormentor, Cyrus Vetch, by rolling him down the Wyle Cop in a barrel), to the day when, grown into a sturdy young giant, he sailed into Plymouth Sound as first lieutenant of the Bristol frigate. The intervening chapters teem with exciting incidents, telling of sea fights; of Humphrey's escape from a French prison; of his voyage to the West Indies and all the perils he encountered there.
"A most thrilling and romantic story. We can easily understand any boy becoming so interested and fascinated as to want to read it at a sitting."—Schoolmaster.
