“The best light novel I ever read. The plot is so original, the characters so sharply drawn and interesting, the interest so sustained, and the whole thing so witty and amusing, that I could not put it down.” So wrote Miss Gertrude Atherton to the author of The Hat of Destiny. Oh, that hat! that incomparably fascinating hat, what dire rivalries it engendered, what domestic tribulations it sardonically plotted when it arrived in Newport amongst those cosmopolitan butterflies!
The Soul of Kol Nikon
ELEANOR FARJEON
Is the fantasy of a boy in a Scandinavian village, who from his birth is treated as a pariah because his mother declares that he is a Changeling. He himself grows up under the same belief, and the story, treated in the vein of folklore, leaves it an open question whether there is some truth in it, or whether it is the result of public opinion upon a distorted imagination. The tale is told with all the poetry, charm, and imaginative insight which made Martin Pippin in the Apple-Orchard such a wonderful success.
The Richest Man
EDWARD SHANKS
Though in the interval Mr. Shanks has published volumes of verse and criticism, this brilliantly clever study is the only novel he has written since 1920.
Anthony Dare
ARCHIBALD MARSHALL
With Anthony Dare Mr. Marshall returns to the creation of that type of novel with which his name is most popularly associated, after two interesting experiments of another kind, that genial “Thick Ear” shocker, Big Peter, and that charming and very successful phantasy, Pippin. It is a study of a boy’s character during several critical years of its development. The scene is chiefly laid in a rich northern suburb.
