SIR LUDAR: A Story of the Days of the Great Queen Bess.
With Eleven Full-page Illustrations. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
The Guardian says:—"This stirring tale, which is played in the days of Queen Elizabeth, and tells of the wonderful adventures of a sturdy prentice-lad who contrived to crowd into a few years as much danger and fighting and hairbreadth escapes as would have lasted an army of ordinary folk for their whole lives. It is a capital book for boys which those who begin reading will have to finish. Mr. Pearse's illustrations, too, are very good."
The Aberdeen Free Press says:—"This is a stirring tale of adventure with plenty of fighting."
