S. Baring Gould's Novels

Crown Svo. 6s. each.

'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalab" is to imply that it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descrip- tions of Nature, and a wealth of ingenious imagery." — Speaker.

' That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic, the incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his characters are life-like, and though somewhat excej^tional people, are drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his descriptions ofscenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and never dull, and it is no wonder that readers have gained confidence in his power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year bis popularity widens.' — Court Circular.
