Books Illustrated by Beatrice Elvery. 



HEROES OF THE DAWN. 



By VIOLET RUSSELL, with Illustrations by 

 BEATRICE ELVERY. Large Crown 8vo, gilt, 

 5/- net. Cheap Edition, 2/6 net. 



" Violet Russell re-tells in her own fashion stories of 

 the ancient gods and saints and barbaric heroes of Irish 

 legendary history, and the romance, the wonder and 

 fancy and quaint extravagances of these tales of the world's 

 youth loose nothing of their freshness, fantasy, pathos, 

 or their ancient fascination in the loving skill with which 

 she relates them. Miss Beatrice Elvery 's illustrations in 

 colour and in black and white have a boldness of decora- 

 tive effect, a glow and forcefulness that are in closest 

 sympathy with the style and tone of the stories them- 

 selves." The Bookman. 



" The value of the book is greatly enhanced by the 

 twenty illustrations contributed by Miss Beatrice Elvery. 

 These have an imaginative strength and a power of design 

 which give them a high place among the book illustrations 

 of the year. The picture of the discovery of the infant 

 Fionn lying on his bed of skins is a particularly charming 

 and tender composition, and Miss Elvery 's command of 

 the grotesque is well exemplified in other scenes, such as 

 that of the enchantment at the cave of Keshcorran." 

 Times Literary Supplement. 



CANDLE AND CRIB. 



By K. F. PURDON. Author of " The Folk of 

 Furry Farm." Illustrated in Colour by BEATRICE 

 ELVERY. I/- net. 



" Written in the sweet, plaintive, blarneying English 

 as it is 'spoken in Southern Ireland. There is the smell 

 of the peat-reek about it. Mother-love, and piety, and 

 the humours of peasant life are the stuff of it. ... 

 A small thing, but just about perfect of its kind." Irish 

 Times. 



" Full of those touches which reach the heart and make 

 all the world kin. The coloured illustrations by Beatrice 

 Elvery are marked by simplicity and truth, and are very 

 effective." Westminster Gazette. 



" It is a true successor of ' The Christmas Carol ' . . . 

 perhaps a little shorter than its prototypes, but it lacks 

 no merit but that of length." The Outlook.
