JOHN LANE'S LIST OF FICTION 



BY W. J. LOCKE. 



DERELICTS. Crown 8vo. 6/- 



Daily Chronicle" Mr. Locke tells his story in a very true, very moving, and 

 very noble book. If anyone can read the last chapter with dry eyes we shall be 

 surprised. ' Derelicts ' is an impressive and important book." 



Morning Post" Mr. Locke's clever novel. One of the most effective stories 

 that have appeared for some time past." 



IDOLS. Crown 8vo. 6/- 



Daily Telegraph" A brilliantly written and eminently readable book." 

 Daily Mail" One of the most distinguished novels of the present book season." 

 Punch," The Baron strongly recommends Mr. W. J. Locke's ' Idols ' to all 



novel readers. It is well written. No time is wasted in superfluous descriptions; 



there is no fine writing for fine writing's sake, but the story will absorb the 



reader. ... It is a novel that, once taken up, cannot willingly be put down 



until finished."
