No, 3, Ready THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1st, 
PUBLISHED WEEKLY, PRICE ONE PENNY. 
Each Number a Complete Original Novelette. 
F or many years past a taste has been growing, and at the present time has become 
almost universal, in favour of stories which may be read within a brief period of 
leisure. Under this new regime, the supremacy once held by the Novel in three 
volumes has been overthrown, and writers of world-wide celebrity are giving to 
their works of fiction a concentration of treatment which has brought some of 
their most remarkable and successful productions within the average bulk of one-volume 
books, and in this way placed within the reach of countless readers to whom otherwise they 
would in all probability have remained unknown. 
A further development of this preference for novels of limited length is evidenced by the 
avidity with which vast numbers of readers turn to works of fiction executed in the still more 
compressed form of “ Novelettes,” supplying reading enough for one sitting by the fireside, 
or for use at any moment of leisure which it is desired to employ in entertaining reading. 
These considerations have led us to project a new weekly series of short novels by writers 
of approved talent and experience, who have achieved the art of telling stories of absorbing 
interest in the most enthralling and delightful manner. 
The range of The Strand Novelettes, in regard to subject, will be almost unbounded, 
variety holding a foremost place in the Editor’s scheme of selection. The love story, the 
story of surprising adventure, the detective story, the romance of every-day life, will in turn 
be offered to the reader in the most attractive and picturesque dress that can be given to it, 
the tone of all being such as to satisfy the purest taste. 
Each number of The Strand Novelettes will consist of Thirty-two pages, and will 
contain a complete original story, embellished by three Engravings from designs by the most 
effective story-illustrators of the day.
