JANET, A POOR HEIRESS.
"The heroine of this story is a true girl. An imperious, fault-finding,unappreciative father alienates her love, and nearly ruins her temper.The mother knows the father is at fault, but does not dare to sayso. Then comes a discovery, that she is only an adopted daughter; aforsaking of the old home; a life of strange vicissitudes; a return; amarriage under difficulties; and a discovery, that, after all, she isan heiress. The story is certainly a very attractive one."--_ChicagoInterior._
THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER.
"Sophie May, author of the renowned Prudy and Dotty books, has achievedanother triumph in the new book with this title just issued. She hastaken 'a new departure' this time, and written a new story for grown-upfolks. If we are not much mistaken, the young folks will want to readit, as much as the old folks want to read the books written for theyoung ones. It is a splendid story for all ages."--_Lynn Semi-WeeklyRecorder._
THE ASBURY TWINS.
"The announcement of another work by this charming and popular writerwill be heartily welcomed by the public. And in this sensible,fascinating story of the twin-sisters, 'Vic' and 'Van,' they havebefore them a genuine treat. Vic writes her story in one chapter, andVan in the next, and so on through the book. Van is frank, honest, andpractical; Vic wild, venturesome, and witty; and both of them naturaland winning. At home or abroad, they are true to their individuality,and see things with their own eyes. It is a fresh, delightful volume,well worthy of its gifted author."--_Boston Contributor._
OUR HELEN.
"'Our Helen' is Sophie May's latest creation; and she is a bright,brave girl, that the young people will all like. We are pleased to meetwith some old friends in the book. It is a good companion-book for the'Doctor's Daughter,' and the two should go together. Queer old Mrs.O'Neil still lives, to indulge in the reminiscences of the young men ofMachias; and other Quinnebasset people with familiar names occasionallyappear, along with new ones who are worth knowing. 'Our Helen' is anoble and unselfish girl, but with a mind and will of her own; and thecontrast between her and pretty, fascinating, selfish little Sharley,is very finely drawn. Lee & Shepard publish it."--_Holyoke Transcript._
QUINNEBASSET GIRLS.
"The story is a very attractive one, as free from the sensational andimpossible as could be desired, and at the same time full of interest,and pervaded by the same bright, cheery sunshine that we find in theauthor's earlier books. She is to be congratulated on the success ofher essay in a new field of literature, to which she will be warmlywelcomed by those who know and admire her 'Prudy Hooks.'"
