“The book is excellently written and is a clever study of a man’s spiritual life.” --_Daily Graphic._
“Thoughtful, able and interesting novel. The story cannot but enhance its author’s reputation.” --_Scotsman._
“She has brought from the heart of the slums some of the most delicately pathetic and most quaintly humorous stories that have ever been published. The gutter babies really live and play and work and die in her delightful realistic book, and one feels at the end as closely akin to those small, wild people of the back streets and alleys, as if one had stolen a little of Miss Slade’s deep understanding and tender sympathy.
“An altogether pleasing and attractive book.” --_Bookman._
“The plot of ‘A Band of Brothers’ is not only excellent, but quite original.... Mr. Turley’s book, though as a story it will give abundant pleasure to juniors, will appeal with even greater effect to parents and guardians.” --_Spectator._
“Mr. Turley has a greater gift for interpreting the mind of the school boy and for envisaging his conditions, than any living writer. We are inclined, after reading ‘A Band of Brothers,’ to say that he is our greatest writer of school stories, not excluding Thomas Hughes.” --_Pall Mall Gazette._
LU OF THE RANGES by ELEANOR MORDAUNT 6/- Author of “The Cost of It.”
“Miss Eleanor Mordaunt has the art, not only of visualizing scenes with such imminent force that the reader feels the shock of reality, but of sensating the emotions she describes. A finely written book, full of strong situations.” --_Everyman._
VIRGINIA by ELLEN GLASGOW (2nd Impression) 6/- Author of “Phases of an Inferior Planet.”
“From beginning to end the book is alive with absorbing interest, and all the characters are convincing in their realism. A sure touch is manifested throughout. It is a striking work in style, in thought, in sympathy and understanding. We expect something distinctive from this author and her latest book splendidly fulfils our hopes.” --_Daily Herald._
THE WOMAN THOU GAVEST ME by HALL CAINE 6/-
“The filling in of the story is marked by all Mr. Hall Caine’s accustomed skill. There is a wealth of varied characterisation, even the people who make but brief and occasional appearances standing out as real individuals, and not as mere names.... In description, too, the novelist shows that his hand has lost nothing of its cunning.... Deeply interesting as a story--perhaps one of the best stories that Mr. Hall Caine has given us--the book will make a further appeal to all thoughtful readers for its frank and fearless discussion of some of the problems and aspects of modern social and religious life.” --_Daily Telegraph._
