Mrs Molesworth with her usual charm of manner, and easy natural grace, traces the development of Meg Langholme from early girlhood to young womanhood, with her friends and companions in the home of Bray Weald, where she is like an adopted daughter, until mysterious warnings bode the disaster of her life; for certain reasons she is kidnapped and concealed until cleverly rescued, and happily married to a lifelong friend then home from India.
VINCE THE REBEL, or the Sanctuary in the Bog. By George Manville Fenn, author of The Black Tor, Roy Royland, Diamond Dyke, The Rajah of Dah, Real Gold, &c. With eight Illustrations by W. H. C. Groome. 5/
Relates the troubles at Mere Abbey, a fine South-of-England mansion, surrounded by bogs and woodlands, during the reign of James II. of England, and how Vince the Rebel lay in hiding here after Sedgemoor, and escaped the soldiers sent in pursuit. The free and healthy country life enjoyed by Walter Heron and his cousin Vince, along with Sol Bogg, the man-servant, who aids in all the fishing, hunting, and woodland adventures, form a fascinating and enjoyable narrative for readers of all ages.
WILD KITTY. By L. T. Meade, author of Catalina, &c. With eight Illustrations by J. Ayton Symington. 5/
Mrs Meade again gives a picture of school-girl life, in which many varied characters play a part, the most interesting and original being Kitty Malone from Castle Malone in Ireland, who earns the nickname of Wild Kitty because of her love of mischief and unconventional manners. Mrs Meade is herself a native of Ireland and quite at home in sketching such a character, and she does not fail to weave a fascinating narrative, and one which she herself believes will rank amongst her best efforts.
PHILIPPA. By Mrs Molesworth, author of Olivia, Blanche, Robin Redbreast, Carrots, Imogen, &c. With eight Illustrations by J. Finnemore. 5/
