The history of Kitty, Jock, Bunko, and Ba, who, after successfully weathering the mumps in their London nursery, are sent to the country to recruit. The book is full of innocent fun and attractive incident.

"Will be read with absorbing interest by the youngsters."--_Land and Water._

"A charming bright story about real children."--_Watchman._

_THE LATE MISS HOLLINGFORD._

By ROSA MULHOLLAND. With 2 full-page Ill.u.s.trations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 1_s._ 6_d._

This story, which was a great favourite of Charles d.i.c.kens, and originally appeared in _All the Year Round_, is of an orphan girl, who, leaving the gaiety and frivolity of London life, goes to live with an old friend of her mother at a farm-house. A delightful picture is given of the peaceful country life; but there is a strangely pathetic drama running through the quiet narrative, and the troubles which Marjory narrates as having been her portion in youth are sure to interest all who have sympathetic hearts.

_NAUGHTY MISS BUNNY:_

Her Tricks and Troubles. By CLARA MULHOLLAND. With 3 Ill.u.s.trations in colours. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._

The story consists of small incidents such as please small listeners, who will be interested not only in Miss Bunny's naughtiness, but in her reformation.

"This naughty child is positively delightful. Papas should not omit 'Naughty Miss Bunny' from their list of juvenile presents."--_Land and Water._

#BY KATE WOOD.#

_WINNIE'S SECRET:_

A Story of Faith and Patience. By KATE WOOD. With 4 full-page Pictures in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ 6_d._

Tells the story of two orphan girls, who, at an early age, are left in a miserable den of London to struggle for a living. The vicissitudes of the little sisters are narrated with touching sympathy, at times sad enough; but relieved by flashes of fun and gleams of genuine humour.

"One of the best story-books we have read. Girls will be charmed with the tale."--_Schoolmaster._

"A very pretty tale, with great variety of incident and subtle character study, written precisely in the style that is surest to win the hearts of young folks."--_Pictorial World._

_A WAIF OF THE SEA:_

Or, the Lost Found. By KATE WOOD. With 4 full-page Ill.u.s.trations in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ 6_d._

"A Waif of the Sea" deals very pathetically with the sorrows and trials of children, and of mothers who are separated from their children. The narrative is full of human interest, and the lives and struggles of the people of a poor London neighbourhood are well portrayed.

"A very touching and pretty tale of town and country, full of pathos and interest, embodied in a narrative which never flags, and told in a style which deserves the highest praise for its lucid and natural ease."--_Edinburgh Courant._

#BY ANNIE S. SWAN.#

_WARNER'S CHASE:_

Or the Gentle Heart. By ANNIE S. SWAN. With 3 Ill.u.s.trations printed in colours. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._

"Warner's Chase" is a domestic story, in which we see the failure of an essentially self-seeking and self-a.s.sertive nature to secure happiness to itself or bestow it upon others, and the triumph of gentleness, love, and unselfish service, in the person of a feeble girl.

"A good book for boys and girls. There is nothing sentimental in it, but a tone of quiet and true religion that keeps its own place."--_Perth Advertiser._

"In Milly Warren, the heroine, who unwittingly restores the family fortunes, we have a fine ideal of real womanly goodness."--_Schoolmaster._

_INTO THE HAVEN._

By ANNIE S. SWAN. With 2 Ill.u.s.trations printed in colours. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 1_s._ 6_d._

"No story more attractive, by reason of its breezy freshness and unforced pathos, as well as for the practical lessons it conveys."--_Christian Leader._

#BY CAROLINE AUSTIN.#

_DOROTHY'S DILEMMA:_

A Tale of the Time of Charles I. By CAROLINE AUSTIN. With 3 full-page Ill.u.s.trations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._

This is a story of the time of Charles I., and the opening scenes are laid in a remote country district through which the king pa.s.ses in his flight to the north. A little Puritan maiden, Dorothy Hardcastle, is induced to afford a night's shelter to his majesty unknown to her father, who has fought on the side of the Parliament. In the event, her deception costs her father his life, and she is removed to London, whither her only brother John also goes. The story follows them both through their strange adventures in the great city, and leaves them setting sail for the New World, full of sorrow for past mistakes and with an earnest desire to lead a true, unselfish life on the other side of the sea.

_MARIE'S HOME:_

Or, A Glimpse of the Past. By CAROLINE AUSTIN. With 3 full-page Ill.u.s.trations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._

This record of an early life, spent partly in an old English home and partly amid stirring scenes of the French revolution, teaches just such lessons of unselfish love as are of value to English maidens of to-day.

"An exquisitely told story. The heroine is as fine a type of girlhood as one could wish to set before our little British damsels."--_Christian Leader._

"A pure, fresh story of what is the result in a young girl's life when it is governed by unselfishness and a sense of duty."--_Bradford Observer._

#BY AMY WALTON.#

_THE HAWTHORNES._

By AMY WALTON. With 3 full-page Ill.u.s.trations by J. J. PROCTOR.

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._
