The Cruise of the “JANET NICHOL” Among the South Sea Islands
There can be no greater inspiration and pleasure for lovers of Stevenson and his work than in the diary of his wife, written during their cruise in 1890, with no thought of publication, but, as she says, “to help her husband’s memory where his own diary had fallen in arrears.” It is full of vivid descriptions of strange characters, both native and white, and also gives most fascinating glimpses of Stevenson himself which are a delightful addition to our knowledge of Stevenson, as they have never before been given to the public in any way.
Fully illustrated from photographs taken during the trip. $1.75 net; postage extra.
Memories
By John Galsworthy
This is a charmingly sympathetic biographical sketch of a dog—a cocker spaniel that came into the author’s possession almost at birth and remained with him through life. It has none of the imaginative exaggeration common in modern animal stories—records nothing improbable at all. But the author’s insight and his power of interpretation individualize the little spaniel and bring him into the reader’s intimate sympathy.
Illustrated with four full-page colored illustrations and a large number in black and white by Maud Earl. $1.50 net; postage extra.
The End of the Trail
By E. Alexander Powell, F.R.G.S.
A narrative of the most remarkable journey ever made by automobile on this continent—a narrative upon which are strung descriptions of the climate, customs, characteristics, resources, problems, and prospects of every State and province between Texas and Alaska in such a manner as to form the only comprehensive and recent volume on the Far West.
