Rough and often badly written as they are, these miracle plays prepared the way for the drama which was to follow them in the days of Queen Elizabeth. It is not too much to say that without them we might never have had Hamlet, nor As you like it, nor any of the splendid and beautiful plays of such a great dramatist as William Shakespeare.

The Story of St. Catherine of Siena
By NETTA SYRETT. With 12 Illustrations and a Coloured Frontispiece. Cloth, 2/6 net.
Miss Syrett writes with a remarkable freshness and deftness of touch which will appeal to readers of all ages, but especially to the young reader. For the story as she tells it has the colour and joy of a fairy tale—and yet is true; and the delicate reserve shown in dealing with the religious side of the narrative adds to its impressiveness.
Roses of Martyrdom
Stories of the “Noble Army of Martyrs” for Children
With 8 Illustrations in Colour. Cloth, 2/6 net.
