THREE ROLLING STONES IN JAPAN. 



By GILBERT WATSON. 

 Demy 8vo. With numerous Illustrations, izs. 6d. nett. 



Japan is proverbially a young man's paradise, and when three young 

 men wander through the country with the fixed intention of enjoying 

 themselves, one expects to hear a glowing account of their proceedings. 

 But it is not often that the story combines literary charm with its other 

 merits. The adventures of these ' Rolling Stones ' are not only 

 interesting that they could hardly fail to be but are described with 

 quite exceptional skill. 



Mr. Watson gives a picture of Japan and its people which fills one 

 with a great longing. Possessing an artist's appreciation of the beautiful 

 as well as a keen sense of humour, he sketches his scenery and characters 

 with a light and sympathetic touch. The heroine Karakamoko, a rick- 

 shaw-man's daughter, who accompanies the party as interpreter and 

 guide, is a most fascinating creature, with whom the reader will 

 inevitably fall in love. 



The book is copiously illustrated with photographs.

By HENRY TAUNTON. 

 One volume &vo. los. 6d. nett. 



There are few of the wilder aspects of life in Australia of which 

 Mr. Taunton does not possess an intimate first-hand knowledge, and a 

 remarkable knack of vivid writing has enabled him to turn his varied 

 material to excellent account. Whether he is lying in wait for wild 

 cattle, riding after wild horses, or striving gallantly to sit a buck-jumper, 

 the reader hears and sees and struggles with him. Equally graphic are 

 his sketches of Australian types and of the aborigines, and his chapters 

 on pearl-fishing give an interesting picture of this curious industry.
