A life of Raleigh told in eleven chapters. Each chapter covers some important scene in his life and is told by some friend or follower as if seen with his own eyes. Some of the characters are invented, but all that they tell really happened.
The narrative has spirit, color, and atmosphere, and is unusually well written.
America figures largely in the story, and American boys will enjoy this book.

THE CINDER POND
Illustrated by Ada C. Williamson. $1.25 net.
Years ago, a manufacturer built a great dock, jutting out from and then turning parallel to the shore of a northern Michigan town. The factory was abandoned, and following the habits of small towns, the space between the dock and the shore became “The Cinder Pond.” Jean started life in the colony of squatters that came to live in the shanties on the dock, but fortune, heroism, and a mystery combine to change her fortunes and those of her friends near the Cinder Pond.
