THE TIME MACHINE
By H. G. WELLS
Author of "The War of the Worlds," "Kips," etc.
You pull certain levers, having seated yourself in the saddle, and you are conveyed either backwards or forwards. When Mr. Wells is in the saddle it is easy to see how highly pleasurable the adventures will be.
This clever idea has given Mr. Wells opportunity for full play of his philosophic views.
IF I WERE KING
By JUSTIN HUNTLY MCCARTHY
A mediaeval romance of love and chivalry in which the poet Francois Villon plays the leading part. It has drama, this story, and it seizes the imagination.
MARCIA IN GERMANY
By SYBIL SPOTTISWOODE
Author of "Hedwig in England," etc.
Marcia is a bright, pleasant English girl, who goes to stay with her German relations. As others before she finds it difficult to grasp a different point of view, a different civilisation. The result is amusingly set forth by this author, whose dialogue is always good.
G.o.dFREY MARTIN: School Boy
By CHARLES TURLEY
One of the very best of boys' books. It is one of the rarest of all rare things--a thoroughly sensible school story. The boys are human, neither saints nor super-sinners, and the masters for once behave in a totally reasonable way. And that doesn't prevent it being a rattling good story.
THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE
By STEPHEN CRANE
Author of "The Open Boat," etc.
The thunders of war, the life of regiments, the soul of humanity in stress and dangers, its qualities and shortcomings are all written on the pages of this thrilling and absorbing book. From the first paragraph our enthusiasm is gained and is not let go till the last.
"Simply unapproached in intimate knowledge and sustained imaginative strength."--SAT. REVIEW.
The STREET of ADVENTURE
By PHILIP GIBBS
The "Street" is Fleet Street of course, for in what other are so many adventures to be found. The EVENING STANDARD says: "It has the quality of big work.... The book positively pants with life."
_HEINEMANN'S 2s NET NOVELS_
THE SHUTTLE
By MRS. HODGSON BURNETT
Author of "Little Lord Fauntleroy," "The Secret Garden," etc.
"Takes its place at once and without dispute among the greater permanent works of fiction. Breadth and sanity of outlook, absolute mastery of human character and life, bigness of story interest, place Mrs. Hodgson Burnett's new book alongside the best work of George Eliot.... The dignity and strength of a great novel such as this put to the blush all but a very few living English storytellers."--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
"A remarkable novel, for it is written with a sincerity and glow and power which bear the reader restlessly along the strange current of events that the writer sets herself to describe."--STANDARD.
"Mrs. Burnett has the gift of a narrator to a high degree, and in spite of its faults, her latest novel makes a highly readable story."--DAILY MAIL.
"A novel of the highest rank."--DAILY GRAPHIC.
Mrs. Burnett is a past-master in drawing her own countrywomen, and Betty is a dazzling vision of youthful charm combined with business-like competence."--THE QUEEN.
"The story is rich and s.p.a.cious; it ill.u.s.trates human nature, both British and American, in a simple and ma.s.sive way, and paints both in the primary colours."--WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.
BELLA DONNA
By ROBERT HICHENS
Author of "The Londoners," "Flames," "An Imaginative Man," etc.
This is the excellent novel on which the excellent play of the same t.i.tle is founded. It is a book full of weird, haunting scenes of pa.s.sion in the desert, full of the strange sinister fatalism of Eastern minds.
"This is one of the best novels that we have ever read, and quite the best that Mr. Robert Hichens has written. It combines the two elements of which every good novel ought to be composed, subtle a.n.a.lysis of character and an exciting plot.... We will not spoil the reading of this book by sketching the thrilling plot, which is enacted on the Nile and its banks. Needless to say, the Egyptian scenery and servants are described by Mr. Hichens with affectionate familiarity."--SAt.u.r.dAY REVIEW.
"It is admirable drama. It lives with a present life, and moves swiftly.
Some of the situations are intensely thrilling; the dialogue is firm and easy; the whole treatment forcible without theatricalism.... Our attention is fixed at the start, and kept to the end, on a duel between Isaacson and Bella Donna. It is magnificent ... there can be no denying it is a very fine novel."--THE EVENING STANDARD AND ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE.
"It is particularly interesting; its characters are drawn with particular care and splendid skill.... 'Bella Donna' is a fine study of a woman of pa.s.sion; remorseless in its truth, fascinating in its unmasking of the hidden springs of selfish desire."--THE GLOBE.
THE BOOK OF A BACHELOR
By DUNCAN SCHWANN
Author of "The Magic of the Hill"
Mr. Duncan Schwann has recently been acclaimed as one of the four great humourists in England at the present time. This "Book of a Bachelor" is delightful reading of a light kind, but it carries weight also, for Mr.
Schwann has picked out the little feeblenesses and frailty of this world as a background to his airy frivolity.
