A GAMBLE FOR LOVE. By Nat Gould. (For Complete List of Nat Gould's Novels see pages 12 and 13).
This novel follows "A Fortune at Stake," the first novel by Nat Gould to be issued at the outset at 6s. The innovation was an immediate success. The new tale, "A Gamble for Love," should undoubtedly win for itself many admirers. The hero and heroine have strong dominating personalities, and the love interest is well sustained. The element of sport of course prevails, and the book may fairly be said to be as thrilling as any Mr. Nat Gould has written.
THE SECRET CALLING.. By Olivia Ramsey, Author of "Callista in Revolt," etc.
This is a love story of unusual charm dealing with the fortunes of two girls. An artist falls in love with one; the other rejects the brilliant marriage arranged for her by her worldly aunt. Each girl seeks safety in flight. How both are finally won by the men who love them is convincingly described by the author. In this book she again displays her acknowledged skill as a clever novelist.
THE SNAKE GARDEN. By Amy J. Baker, Author of "I Too Have Known," "The Impenitent Prayer," etc.
As with her two previous successes the scene is laid in South Africa. Miss Baker writes with a realism that is the outcome of personal experience. Theo, the heroine, is an unusual type of girl, and how she straightens out her life is told with rare humour and psychological insight. The book is remarkable for its clear-cut pictures of Colonial life.
THE BELOVED PREMIER. By H. Maxwell, Author of "Mary in the Market," "The Paramount Shop," etc.
The author imagines what would happen in England were the authorities to govern with absolute disinterestedness and singleness of purpose. The picture thus drawn depicts a topsy-turvy world indeed. The story is told with much humour and many shrewd thrusts at our most cherished institutions. It is an unusual book replete with good things.
