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.
