THE RANSOM FOR LONDON. By J. S. Fletcher, Author of "The Bartenstein Case," etc.
This is one of the most enthralling conceptions that has yet appeared in realistic fiction. From the advent of the stranger at the week-end retreat of the Prime Minister, with his demand for ten millions sterling as the ransom for London, right through to the end, the narrative compels attention. Mr. Fletcher has in this story surpassed himself.
ANGELS IN WALES. By Margam Jones, Author of "The Stars of the Revival," etc.
A tale of Welsh life in the last century, describing faithfully and vividly, in the glow of a sympathetic imagination, the joys and sorrows of the Celtic soul, and having for its central theme the all-important problem of true life. Here the lover of fiction will be continually charmed by a mysterious revelation of hidden life clothed in a new dress of spiritual psychology.
THE PRICE OF CONQUEST. By Ellen Ada Smith, Author of "The Only Prison," etc.
The story has its setting partly in the west country and partly amidst the changes and chances of London musical life. As a risen Star, Sigismund Wirth is happy as only the successful can be. How at last his weakness is discovered and his final victory over self achieved is shown in this clever novel.
FAITH AND UNFAITH. By James Blyth, Author of "Rubina," "Amazement," etc.
This novel is the study of a woman's love. The theme is developed with the certainty of touch and the clearness of vision which are the gifts of experience in life and art. It is as engrossing as the author's previous works, and a notable addition to his gallery of brilliant pen portraits of beautiful, frail women.
THE RED WEDDING. By E. Scott Gillies, Author of "A Spark on Steel," etc.
The novel deals with one of the stormiest periods of history and of the fierce feud between two Highland Clans, each so powerful that Queen Elizabeth sought to gain their friendship for England against the Scottish Sovereign, James IV. It is a story of love and jealousy and the gradual success of the true lover in the face of all obstacles.
