THE GOLDEN AGE.
BY
KENNETH GRAHAME.
Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d. net.
"It would be difficult to say too much in praise of a book so fascinating as 'The Gollden Age'. Within the pages of this volume we have found a veritable mine of gold: and, since the treasure is one whose resources are inexhaustible, we gladly proclaim its existence. The book brims over with delightful humour. To be unreservedly recommended to everyone who loves children and appreciates literature."—Speaker.
"A bit of literature as sweet and distinguished as aught of the sort ever written. It is a book that may be read many times with increasing pleasure at each perusal."—Black and White.
"Delicious little sketches of a group of children. There could be no better entertainment for an idle afternoon."—Saturday Review.
"Sketches of child-life, with all its fancies and illusions. One of the freshest, most original, and most charming pieces of literature which has issued from the press for some time."—Dundee Advertiser.
"A record of the joliest little set of boys and girls that can well be imagined. If anyone desires an hour of pure enjoyment, we advise him to purchase 'The Golden Age.'"—Liverpool Mercury.
"There is a healthy, humorous. golden tone about the book that absolutely bears out the title. Nothing cleverer, nothing more original, nothing more delightful has for many months come in the way of the reviewer."—Glasgow Herald.
"A perfectly delightful book."—Yorkshire Herald.
"More delightful sketches of child-life have never come into our hands than those contained in this volume. He transports the reader to the golden age of childhood, and with a subtle, indescribable skill, pictures child character with inﬁnite truth and matchless charm."—Independent.
"No more fascinating book than this has been written for a long time.—Christian World.
"A collection of delightful sketches of child-life, revealing keenness of observation and sympathy with childhood expressed in a style of unfailing grace and charm.—Liverpool Daily Post.
"No more charming picture of child-life has ever been produced. Through many delightful escapades Mr. Grahame conducts his fascinating little band of marauders, telling their tale with rare simplicity, in an unaffected, polished style."—Sun.
"A charming study of child-life. Half-fanciful, half-real, this little collection of stories shows a deep knowledge of children, their foibles, and their saving graces"—Gentlewoman.
"There are not too many of those 'eternal children' in ﬁction whom it is a rare delight to know; and for Mr. Grahame to have added to the list is a ﬁne achievement."—Realm.
"Those parents who love their children will buy ‘The Golden Age' and learn to understand them also."—Woman.
MALAY SKETCHES.
BY
FRANK ATHELSTAN SWETTENHAM.
With title-page and Cover designed by Patten Wilson.
Crown 8vo, 5s. net.
"Mr. Swettenham's style is simple and direct and vigorous. Particularly good is his eye for colour, and he has a ﬁne sense of the brilliant melancholy of the East. To few falls the good fortune of introducing us to a new people, and seldom have we the advantage of so admirable a guide."—Pall Mall Gazette.
"Nothing approaching Mr. Swettenham's intimate knowledge and illuminative analysis has yet seen the light about that fascinating country which he well describes."—Daily Chronicle.
"In his vivid pages we see, practically for the ﬁrst time, the real Malay, and in these series of brilliant pen-pictures, more thrilling than the ﬁctionist could produce, one can get the key to the character of these interesting people."—Whitehall Review.
"If Mr. Swettenham has not written the ideal book about Malaya he has come very near it. The whole book has a charm and reality that makes it as readable as any novel."—Glasgow Herald.
"Graphic word-piclures of the Malaya and the Malays. Instructive and fascinating work."—Daily Telegraph.
"Mr. Swettenham is gifted with considerable power of graphic description and that keen relish for telling a story without which the most thrilling narrative loses half its interest."—St. James's Gazette.
"Its unconventional character is one of the most attractive points about this very attractive volume. Mr. Swettenham succeeds in making the life and character of the Malays real to us in a way that so far as we are aware no other writer has done."—Publishers' Circular.
"Mr. Swettenham is always lucid, always entertaining. His book is a vivid presentment of a vivid llfe."—Gentlewoman.
"The book is very interesting throughout, and sheds a ray of light on one of the dark places of the earth."—Liverpool Courier.
"lt would be difﬁcult to over—praise these sketches of men and manners in Malay. Wonderfully interesting and instructive."—Liverpool Mercury.
"A pleasant simplicity of style, a total lack of affectation, and a comparatively unknown land and people for subject-matter, make 'Malay Sketches' entirely delightful. They are always vivid, always convincing."—St. James's Budget.
"This is one or those books which exercise such a fascination upon the mind of the stay-at-home traveller. Stay-at-home though he may be, he has no difﬁculty in distinguishing the work of a genuine authority from the hasty and inexact impressions of the idle globe-trotter. ‘Malay Sketches‘ will be speedily recognised by him as belonging to the more reliable kind or his favourite literature."—Spectator.
MONOCHROMES.
BY
ELLA D’ARCY.
Crown 8vo (Keynotes Series), 3s. 6d. net.
“If Miss D'Arcy can maintain this level, her future is secure. She has produced one story which comes near to being a masterpiece."—Daily Chronicle.
"We doubt if any other living woman-writer could have written quite so well."—Saturday Review.
"It is rare indeed to meet, in English. with a number of short stories of such distinction from an English pen."—Graphic.
"She expresses herself with remarkable force and point, whilst her polished refinement of style gives literary value to these clever sketches. 'Monochromes' is distinctly clever, and so well-written as to give us strong hopes of its author's future."—Speaker.
"Thoroughly interesting, and in many respects strikingly original."—Whitehall Review.
"Style, characterisation, dramatic intensity, artistic sanity, pathos and imagination—all these Miss D'Arcy has".—Echo.
"Written with much skill, observation, and style. Very interesting and well told." Westminster Gazette.
"All the stories show keen observation and literary power."—Independent.
"They are word-pictures of no little power, displaying an admirable technique in their design, treatment of light and shade, and artistic ﬁnish."—Daily Telegraph.
"Written with a powerful and masterly hand."—Academy.
GREY ROSES.
BY
HENRY HARLAND.
Crown 8vo (Keynotes Series), 3s. 6d. net.
"Exceedingly pleasant to read. You close the book with a feeling that you have met a host of charming people. 'Castles near Spain' comes near to being a perfect thing of its kind." Pall Mall Gazette.
They are charming stories, simple, full of freshness, with a good deal of delicate wit, both in the imagining and in the telling. The last story of the book, in spite or improbabilities quire tremendous, is a delightful story."—Daily Chronicle.
"'Castles near Spain' as a fantastic love episode is simply inimitable, and 'Mercedes' is instinct with a pretty humour and child-like tenderness that render it peculiarly–nay, uniquely–fascinating. 'Grey Roses' are entitled to rank among the choicest ﬂowers of the realms of romance."—Daily Telegraph.
"Never before has the strange, we might almost say the weird, fascination of the Bohemianism of the Latin Quarter been so well depicted"—Whitehall Review.
"'Castles near Spain' is an altogether charming and admirable bit of romance."—Glasgow Herald.
"We envy Mr. Harland his beautiful story. ‘A Bohemian girl.'"—Literary World.
"Mr. Harland is capital company. He is always entertaining."—New Budget.
"They are gay and pathetic, and touched with the fantasy that gives to romance its ﬁnest flavour. Each has a quaintness and a grace of its own."—Daily News.
"'Castles near Spain' is a lovely idyll, in which young passion and a quaint humour are blended into a rare harmony."—Star.
Really delightful. 'Castles in Spain' is as near perfection as it well could be."—Spectator.
