JOHN LANE'S LIST OF FICTION 



BY DANIEL CHAUCER. 



THE SIMPLE LTFE, LIMITED. Crown 8vo. 6,- 



%* This novel has a very decided quality of satire which is inspired by th 

 conventions of the unconventional. Evidently Mr. Chaucer knows the Simple Life 

 froto the inside, and his reflections will both amuse and amaze those who know it 

 only from casual allusions. Many well-known figures will be recognized, though not 

 in all cases under their proper names, and, as in the case of Mr. Mallock's " New 

 Republic," Society will be busy dotting the " i's " and crossing the " t's."
