[*] Home, Andrew. Boys of Badminster. [†]$1.50. Lippincott.
A tale of English schoolboy adventure whose hero is Jack Coverdale, broad shouldered enough to bear the burden of his own scrapes and those of less honorable companions. “There is an attempt at kidnapping, with exciting cricket games and boys’ pranks, all of which must be read to be appreciated. There is another good story, ‘A row in the sixth,’ at the end of the book, which is a big one.” (N. Y. Times.)
[*] “Good characterization and plenty of humor should make this a success.”

[*] “Mr. Home has the happy knack of rousing an expectancy which he never disappoints.”

[*] “Mr. Home does his best, not wholly without success, to make it seem possible, and constructs a good story out of it, as school stories go.”
