| A VERY NAUGHTY GIRL. By L. T.Meade. With eight Illustrations by W. Rainey. | 5/ |
| All spirited maidens will follow with interest the training and development of the character of Evelyn Wynford, heiress of Castle Wynford, who, when she arrives from Tasmania at her uncle's house, which will afterwards be her own, is extremely self-conscious though clever, and is wilful, selfish, vain, and altogether unladylike. Her maid Jasper is her evil genius. As the story develops, her aunt, her cousin, and others begin to have a wholesome influence over her; then certain misdemeanours, which land her in serious trouble, humble her, and leave her much changed and truly repentant. The 'Naughty Girl' becomes transformed into a wise and comely young woman. | |

| The names of the writers here are a guarantee for the sound entertainment provided in this companion volume to Dash and Daring, Peril and Prowess, and Venture and Valour. The story by Mr G. A. Henty is one of pioneering in the days of the early settlers in America, when the natives were troublesome, and who in this case rose up and nearly exterminated the white people. Mr G. M. Fenn tells a funny seaside story; while Andrew Balfour, Captain North, Walter Thornbury, James Patey, Fred Whishaw, Harold Bindloss, and others contribute dashing stories of peril and adventure, and great heroism in the hour of danger. | |

| THE KOPJE GARRISON: A Tale of the Boer War. ByG. Manville Fenn. With eight Illustrations byW. Boucher. | 5/ |
| Mr Fenn transports his readers to the South African veldt, where, in imagination and in reality, so many of his countrymen have been for the past two years, and helps them to understand by means of this brisk and exciting tale what so many of our gallant soldiers have had to endure. This new story mainly follows the fortunes of two young men in khaki—Drew Lennox and Bob Dickenson—in and around the village of Groenfontein, which is bravely held by a little British force against the Boers. Sometimes half-starved, and subjected to night and day attacks, they make a little Gibraltar of the place, and ever render a good account of themselves. Something is always happening within or without Groenfontein, and in the end the story leaves Drew Lennox captain and V.C. | |
