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.
Half Hours
By J. M. Barrie
From the delightful, romantic fantasy of “Pantaloon” to the present-day realism of “The Twelve Pound Look” represents the wide scope of Mr. Barrie’s dramatic work. All four of the plays in this volume, though their subjects are quite diverse, are beautifully suggestive of Barrie at his best with all his keenest humor, brightest spontaneity, and deepest insight.
“Pantaloon,” “The Twelve Pound Look,” “Rosalind” and “The Will.” $1.25 net; postage extra.
