Ill.u.s.trations by A. J. Johnson.

"A beautiful story.... One that draws out all the author's wonderful capacities for direct and naturally emotional and sentimental writing.

The grown-ups, the little folks, and their every-day experiences, are portrayed and described with a realism that brings them very near to the reader, affecting the feelings and impressing the memory."--_The Dundee Advertiser._

BETTY & CO.

Ill.u.s.trated.

LITTLE MOTHER MEG.

Ill.u.s.trations by A. J. Johnson.

SEVEN LITTLE AUSTRALIANS.

Ill.u.s.trations by A. J. Johnson.

"A capital story, charged with incident of a lively and stirring kind, in which children play some interesting parts."--_Sat.u.r.day Review._

"The pictures of their characters and careers seem taken from the life, and there is a novelty in some of the surroundings of the household which makes the volume eminently readable.... There are not wanting pa.s.sages of true pathos, and some vividly picturesque descriptions of Australian scenery."--_Daily Telegraph._

"A capital story, told with vivacity, point, and humour. Admirably calculated to interest young people."--_Publishers' Circular._

THE CAMP AT WANDINONG.

Ill.u.s.trations by Frances Ewan and others.

"Ethel Turner has given us in 'The Camp at Wandinong' such an insight into the thoughts and nature of childhood as is nothing short of marvellous. It is no exaggeration to say that in our experience no truer representations of child life have ever been brought before the public.

Mrs. Curlewis's pathos is of that simple and intimate description that will find its way straight to the hearts of her readers."--_Ladies'

Field._

MISS BOBBIE.

Ill.u.s.trations by Harold Copping.

"Simply delightful.... In its humour and its penetrating insight it is quite a masterpiece, comparable only with Miss Alcott's 'Little Men.'"--_Daily Mail._

"In every way a delightful book. It is one of those simple histories of everyday life that children of all ages like to read, full of fast and furious fun."--_British Weekly._

THE LITTLE LARRIKIN.

Ill.u.s.trations by A. J. Johnson.

"This is a most delightful, pathetic, and humorous--yet neither too pathetic nor too humorous--story."--_Speaker._

"So brightly written, and so full of delicate touches of both humour and pathos."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

"An exceedingly clever and amusing story."--_St. James' Gazette._

THE "TIP-CAT" SERIES

BY THE AUTHOR OF "LADDIE."

_Chambers' Journal_ says:--"The diffidence of the auth.o.r.ess of 'Laddie'

has. .h.i.therto prevented her real name and portrait from going forth to the public. But her work is finer, and has more grit, sanity, and beauty than is the case with writers who are better known. It is possible that her 'Laddie' may become a cla.s.sic."

TIP-CAT. By the Author of "Laddie."

A very pathetic story of hards.h.i.+ps and sacrifice, telling how the tenderness and generosity of one may make life smooth and happy for others.
