HERBERT STRANG'S STORIES

SOME OPINIONS

"I envy the boy or girl who is given a Herbert Strang book.... Mr. Strang's powers of invention are great. One is hurried along breathlessly from one adventure to another, till we are left gasping at the end of the jolly narrative.... Mr. Strang's books are full of the qualities to which boys—and girls—should aspire. Reading him, an older, less adventurous person 'lives by admiration.'"—KATHARINE TYNAN.

"The intellectual level of boys' stories has been materially raised by Mr. Strang, and at the same time he has infused into them a stronger human interest than the old writers did. The gain is an all-round one.... Mr. Strang has brought the boys' story up to the same level of artistic effort and realisation as the high-class novel."—JAMES BURNLEY.

"We rejoice to find that among the crowd of money-makers who produce as if by machinery the standard book for boys, there are still some who realise that because only a boy is to read a book it need not therefore be careless, and because the boy will be without experience the book need not therefore be impossible."—THE OUTLOOK.

"Mr. Strang's books suggest a standard by which very few writers of boys' books will bear being judged. The majority of them are content to provide their young friends with mere reading—Herbert Strang offers them literature."—THE GLASGOW HERALD.
