THE PRIDE OF JENNICO. Being a Memoir of Captain Basil Jennico.
"What separates it from most books of its class is its distinction ofmanner, its unusual grace of diction, its delicacy of touch, and thefervent charm of its love passages. It is a very attractive piece ofromantic fiction relying for its effect upon character rather thanincident, and upon vivid dramatic presentation."--_The Dial._ "Astirring, brilliant and dashing story."--_The Outlook._
THE SECRET ORCHARD. Illustrated by Charles D. Williams.
The "Secret Orchard" is set in the midst of the ultra modern society.The scene is in Paris, but most of the characters are English speaking.The story was dramatized in London, and in it the Kendalls scored agreat theatrical success.
"Artfully contrived and full of romantic charm * * * it possessesingenuity of incident, a figurative designation of the unhallowedscenes in which unlicensed love accomplishes and wrecks faith andhappiness."--_Athenaeum._
YOUNG APRIL. With illustrations by A. B. Wenzell.
"It is everything that a good romance should be, and it carries aboutit an air of distinction both rare and delightful."--_Chicago Tribune._"With regret one turns to the last page of this delightful novel, sodelicate in its romance, so brilliant in its episodes, so sparkling inits art, and so exquisite in its diction."--_Worcester Spy._
FLOWER O' THE ORANGE. With frontispiece.
We have learned to expect from these fertile authors novels graceful inform, brisk in movement, and romantic in conception. This carries thereader back to the days of the bewigged and beruffled gallants of theseventeenth century and tells him of feats of arms and adventures inlove as thrilling and picturesque, yet delicate, as the utmost seekerof romance may ask.
MY MERRY ROCKHURST. Illustrated by Arthur E. Becher.
"In the eight stories of a courtier of King Charles Second, which arehere gathered together, the Castles are at their best, reviving all thefragrant charm of those books, like _The Pride of Jennico_, in whichthey first showed an instinct, amounting to genius, for sunny romances.The book is absorbing * * * and is as spontaneous in feeling as it isartistic in execution."--_New York Tribune._
