_A DRONE and A DREAMER_
By NELSON LLOYD _Author of "The Chronic Loafer"_
AN AMERICAN LOVE STORY
Illustrated, Cloth, 8vo, $1.50
"A Drone and A Dreamer' recalls the maxim of La Bruyere: _'When the reading of a book elevates the mind and inspires noble sentiments, do not seek for another rule by which to judge the work. It is good and made by the hand of a workman.'_ One of the cleverest and most fascinating stories, all too brief, that it has ever been my pleasure to read." --WALT. MCDOUGALL, in _North American_.
"Capitally told. The whole story is rich in humor." --_Outlook._
"The most delightfully original offering of the year." --_New York World._
"A story that everyone can enjoy."--_New York Press._
"At once and unreservedly we acknowledge the singular merits of this clever romance." --_New York Times Saturday Review._
"Occasionally across the weary wastes of contemporary fiction--erotic, neurotic, tommyrotic or would-be historical,--comes a breath from some far, sweet land of cleanness and beauty. Such a story is 'A Drone and A Dreamer.' It is difficult to conceive of anything more charming and delightful than this book."--_Chicago Evening Post._
