Liverpool Post. — " It is a rare tale, with a most happy
ending, and in reaching that ending we can safely promise every
reader a most pleasant journey ... its charm of style,
capital dialogue, and quiet humour are likely to bring it equal
favour on this side of the ocean."
JERRY JUNIOR
By JEAN WEBSTER
Crown 8vo, Illustrated, Cloth, 6i.
A pretty love story full of humour. Scene. Italy.
Tribune. — " In these days of detective stories and sensational
mysteries, it is a pleasure to come across siich a fantastic and
delightful book as ' Jerry Junior '. . . . We have thoroughly
enjoyed a, dip into this lively and charming romance. . . .
Every page is instinct with life and colour, and Miss Jean Webster
has caught the spirit of Italian life and scenery, so delightfully
inconsequent and full of humour and gaiety."
Newcastle Chronicle. — " The story altogether is a bright piece
of comedy, excellently adapted for holiday reading, with the
proviso that its charming black and white illustrations make it a
thing almost too good for seaside reading, except in the case of
those who may be trusted to tend it carefully."
Liverpool Courier. — " It is a right merry yarn related with an
engaging archness and charm. The characterisation is very
capable, Gustavo, the worried waiter, being particularly amusing.
There are some unusually good illustrations."
Madame. — " Constance, the heroine, is a delicious oasis of
unreasonableness, and there is a great deal of quiet humour in
these pages which cannot fail to please even the most fastidious
reader. The illustrations by Orson Lowell are excellent."
Queen. — " The story goes with a ripple, and is full of humour."
Ladies' Field. — "This is a very bright and amusing little
comedy. . . . The story is crisply written and is genuinely
humorous. Mr. Orson Lowell's line illustrations are admirably
suited to the text."
Westminster Gazette. — " Miss Jean Webster has touched both
her story and her characters with charm."
Glasgow Herald. — "A story that merits its artistic complement
by its ingenuity, its brightness of setting and its literary
excellence."
Chronicle. — " Miss Jean Webster has invented a fresh and
fruitful situation — no mean feat."
GEORGIE
By DOROTHEA DEAKIN
Juthor of " The Toet and the Pierrot^' " The Trhcess
and the Kitchenmaid" etc.
Crown 8vo, Illustrated, Cloth, 6/.
Morning Post. — "It is a brightly written book, with just the
right touch for its theme— light, deft, and at the same time
humorously sympathetic. It should be extremely popular."
Tribune. — " The story is told with humour and vivacity."
World. — "There are some delightful episodes in the book
and some charming writing."
Newcastle Chrotiicle. — " A bright amusing book."
Hearth and Home. — " A thoroughly amusing, thoroughly
delightful volume."
Birmingham Post. — " The reader who cannot laugh heartily
at the escapades of Georgie, and sympathise with him on those
occasions when the help of a friend is the one thing needful, must
be hard to please."
Globe. — " Miss Deakin has a pretty way of writing, keeps
her story moving, is intelligently aware of the value of character,
presents many specimens of fascinating girlhood, and invents an
original ending . . . brimming with innocent fun, and pleasingly
illustrated,"
Dundee Advertiser. — "The chronicle of Georgie's scrapes is
great fun, and they lose nothing in the telling at the hand of
Miss Deakin."
Liverpool Courier. — " Miss Deakin's deftness of execution and
happy invention are seen at their best in this amusing narrative
of a susceptible youth's adventures. . . . Certainly this book whets
our appetite for Miss Deakin's wonderfully clever writing, but
whatever she gives us we retain our affection for Georgie."
Church Times. — " The end is an amusing surprise, and the
whole story is full of clean, wholesome fun."
