Edith Awsby 



THREE SCHOOL FRIENDS. Three girls of very different character 

 and circumstances become friends at school, and afterwards enjoy a jolly 

 Christmas holiday, one incident only marring the pleasure. The book has 

 a slightly religious tendency, which is characteristic of Edith Awsby. 



RUTH SEYTON. A book for older children. Ruth's delicacy prevents 

 her from helping her struggling family materially, but her sweet ways 

 and religious beliefs help and comfort all who know her. She has the 

 great gift of helping lame dogs over stiles. 



R. D. Blackmore 



LORNA DOONE. " Lorna Doone " has become one of the world's 

 classics. No one can claim to have read the books that matter who has 

 not read this wonderful romance of Exmoor, Jan Ridd, the Doones, and 

 the outlaws of the Doone Valley. 



Harriet Boultwood 



HERO'S STORY. This is the story of a splendid dog, who has a hard 

 time at first, but presently becomes the property of a particularly taking 

 schoolboy. The two are devoted to one another, and " Hero " lives up 

 to his high-sounding name. 



Charles Bruce 



TWYFORD HALL. A very well written story of the slums, giving a 

 good picture of poor children without being too sordid. Little Rosa and 

 her grandfather are terribly poor, but, in spite of that, generous to other 

 unfortunates. All ends happily for Rosa as she deserves. 



A NIGHT IN A SNOWSTORM. A collection of short stories 

 suitable for young boys. " A Night in a Snow Storm " deals with an adven- 

 ture which befell two schoolboys forced to spend the Christmas holidays 

 at School. The other stories are original, and the scenes are laid in Russia. 



Maude M. Butler 



BOB'S HEROINE. A pleasing story of a little invalid girl whom every- 

 one loves, and who is the apple of her father's eye. She is very kind to 

 two ragged, unhappy children, who benefit considerably through her 

 bounty, and are the object of much devotion to Bob, a little page-boy. 



Lucie E. Jackson 



TOMBOY DAISY. Daisy was a harum-scarum, thoughtless, restless, 

 little person, but lovable for all that, and she had an influence on the 

 people she came in contact with, especially her own grandmother, that 

 surprised even herself. 



THE BADGE OF THE SCARLET POPPY. Five happy, but 

 motherless children do pretty much as they like, and form a League of 

 Right against Wrong, using the scarlet poppy for a badge. They champion 

 the cause of a poor widow, and make a success of the League, too.
