1 vol., library 12mo, cloth $1.25
This famous romance has been out of print for some time, and a new translation is sure to appeal to its many admirers, who have never yet had any edition worthy of the story.
The Rejuvenation of Miss Semaphore.
A farcical novel. By Hal Godfrey. Illustrated by Etheldred B. Barry. (In press.)
1 vol., library 12mo, cloth $1.25
A fanciful, laughable tale of two maiden sisters of uncertain age who are induced, by their natural longing for a return to youth and its blessings, to pay a large sum for a mystical water which possesses the value of setting backwards the hands of time. No more delightfully fresh and original book has appeared since "Vice Versa" charmed an amused world. It is well written, drawn to the life, and full of the most enjoyable humor.
Midst the Wild Carpathians.
By Maurus Jokai, author of "Black Diamonds," "The Lion of Janina," etc. Authorized translation by R. Nisbet Bain. Illustrated. (In press.)
1 vol., library 12mo, cloth $1.25
A thrilling, historical, Hungarian novel, in which the extraordinary dramatic and descriptive powers of the great Magyar writer have full play. As a picture of feudal life in Hungary it has never been surpassed for fidelity and vividness. The translation is exceedingly well done.
