THE TALKING HORSE; 



AND OTHER TALES. 



From THE SATURDAY REVIEW. 'A capital set of stories, thoroughly clever 

 and witty, often pathetic, and always humorous.' 



From THE ATHENAEUM. 'The grimmest of mortals, in his most surly mood, 

 could hardly resist the fun of " The Talking Horse." '

THE GIANT'S ROBE. 



From THE PALL MALL GAZETTE. 'The main interest of the hook, which is 

 very strong indeed, begins when Vincent returns, when Harold Caffyn discovers the secret, 

 when every page threatens to bring down doom on the head of the miserable Mark. 

 Will he confess ? Will he drown himself ? Will Vincent denounce him? Will Caffyn 

 inform on him? Will his wife abandon him? we ask eagerly as we read and cannot 

 cease reading till the puzzle is solved in a series of exciting situations.'

THE PARIAH. 



From THE SATURDAY REVIEW. 'In "The Pariah "we are more than ever 

 struck by the sharp intuitive perception and the satirical balancing of judgment which 

 makes the author's writings such extremely entertaining reading. There is not a dull 

 page we might say, not a dull sentence in it. . . . The girls are delightfully drawn, 

 especially the bewitching Margot and the childish Lettice. Nothing that polish and 

 finish, cleverness, humour, wit, and sarcasm can give is left out.'

VICE VERSA; 



OR, A LESSON TO FATHERS. 



From THE SATURDAY REVIEW.' If ever there was a book made up from 

 beginning to end of laughter, and yet not a comic book, or a "merry" book, or a book 

 of jokes, or a book of pictures, or a jest book, or a tomfool book, but a perfectly sober 

 and serious book, in the reading of which a sober man may laugh without shame from 

 beginning to end, it is the book called "Vice Versa; or, a Lesson to Fathers." . . . 

 We close the book, recommending it very earnestly to all fathers in the first instance, 

 and their sons, nephews, uncles, and male cousins next. 1

A FALLEN IDOL. 



From THE TIMES. ' Mr. Anstey's new story will delight the multitudinous 

 public that laughed over "Vice Versa.". . . The boy who brings the accursed image 

 to Champion's house, Mr. Bales, the artist's factotum, and above all Mr. Yarker, the 

 ex -butler who has turned policeman, are figures whom it is as pleasant to meet as it is 

 impossible to forget. 1
