Mr. Edward A mold's New Books. 7 



UVEW U^OVELS. 



IN THE CITY OF UNDER. 



By EVELYNE RYND, 



Author of " Mrs. Green." 



Second Impression. 6s. 



" The story is a medley of mystery, allegory, fairy fiction, and wholesome 

 philosophy, so skilfully blended that the whole assumes an aspect of vivid 

 reality. The effect is one of complete novelty. We do not know anything 

 that quite equalls the story in this quality of originality. Its freshness and 

 absolute unconventionality gives it an irresistible charm." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



" ' In the City of Under ' is a charming book." — Times. 



"Miss Evelyne Rynd's new book, ' In the City of Under,' is published by 



Mr. Edward Arnold, who is, in my opinion, one of the very best judges of 



fiction among the publishers. Miss Rynd won her position years ago with 



that most excellent and living book, ' Mrs. Green,' 'In the City of Under ' 



, thoroughly deserves and richly rewards careful reading." — British Weekly. 



" A story quite delightfully out of the common." — Tatler. 



ALIENS. 



By WILLIAM McFEE. 



6s. 



*' Mr. McFee begins with a tremendous incident, and then the story harks 

 back and ultimately leads up to it again. In the meantime he gains and 

 maintains our interest both in the story and the manner of its telling. Perhaps 

 he has never read Mr. Conrad, but it would be surprising to be assured of 

 that. It is not only that the broken, indirect method, the seeing through 

 others' eyes, alternates with simple and direct narration very much as the 

 author of ' Chance ' might have devised it, but the phrases are sometimes 

 almost familiar. 'Well, what do you think he asked me for? Nothing less 

 than fifty pounds. He seemed to have a mania for fifty pounds.' This is 

 splendid, and Mr, Conrad might have written it." — Manchester Guardian. 



" There is an indefinable charm in ' Aliens,' " — Evening Standard. 



"This narrative is extraordinarily simple, direct, and gripping." — Liverpool 

 Daily Post. 



"There are some books which make you say, 'Here is literature — what- 

 ever this man writes is worth reading.' Such a book is ' Aliens.' " — Christian 

 Globe.
