METHUEN'S 

 POPULAR NOVELS 



AUTUMN 1912 



THE HEATHER MOON 



By C. N. and A. M. WILLIAMSON, Authors of 'The 



Lightning Conductor.' Third Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



The story of a motor tour in Scotland and many quests. The drama 



shows us a girl in search of her mother, who has her own reasons for 



not wishing to be found by a pretty grown-up daughter. A man in 



search of some lost illusions is also here, and the girl helps him to 



discover that they are not illusions but splendid truths. Other seekers 



are a woman in search of love, and her brother in search of materials 



for a novel. In finding or failing to find these things a romance of a 



very original kind with many conflicting interests has been evolved. 



LONDON LAVENDER : An Entertainment 



By E. V. LUCAS, Author of 'Mr. Ingleside.' Third 



Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



This is Mr. Lucas's fourth novel, or ' Entertainment ' as he prefers 

 to call his stories ; and readers of the preceding three may find 

 some old acquaintances. The scene is again laid principally in 

 London, and again an odd company of types converse and have 

 urbane adventures. 



BURIED ALIVE 



By ARNOLD BENNETT, Author of ' Clayhanger.' A New 

 Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



This is a reprint of one of Mr. Bennett's most delightful stories. It 

 has been out of print for some time. 



THE STREET CALLED STRAIGHT 



By the Author of 'The Wild Olive.' Third Edition. 



Crown 8vo, 6s. 



The anonymous author of those very interesting novels The Inner 

 Shrine and The Wild Olive has in the new book dealt with a financial 

 man's case of conscience. The story, which is laid for the most part 

 in Boston, illustrates the New England proverb, ' By the street called 

 straight' should it not be strait? 'we come to the house called 

 beautiful,'
