A FEW OF GROSSET & DUNLAP"S Great Books at Little Prices
HAPPY HAWKINS. By Robert Alexander Wason. Ill.u.s.trated by Howard Giles.
A ranch and cowboy novel. Happy Hawkins tells his own story with such a fine capacity for knowing how to do it and with so much humor that the reader"s interest is held in surprise, then admiration and at last in positive affection.
COMRADES. By Thomas Dixon, Jr. Ill.u.s.trated by C. D. Williams.
The locale of this story is in California, where a few socialists establish a little community.
The author leads the little band along the path of disillusionment, and gives some brilliant flashes of light on one side of an important question.
TONO-BUNGAY. By Herbert George Wells.
The hero of this novel is a young man who, through hard work, earns a scholarship and goes to London.
Written with a frankness verging on Rousseau"s, Mr. Wells still uses rare discrimination and the border line of propriety is never crossed. An entertaining book with both a story and a moral, and without a dull page--Mr. Wells"s most notable achievement.
A HUSBAND BY PROXY. By Jack Steele.
A young criminologist, but recently arrived in New York city, is drawn into a mystery, partly through financial need and partly through his interest in a beautiful woman, who seems at times the simplest child and again a perfect mistress of intrigue. A baffling detective story.
LIKE ANOTHER HELEN. By George Horton. Ill.u.s.trated by C. M. Relyea.
Mr. Horton"s powerful romance stands in a new field and brings an almost unknown world in reality before the reader--the world of conflict between Greek and Turk on the Island of Crete. The "Helen"
of the story is a Greek, beautiful, desolate, defiant--pure as snow.
There is a certain new force about the story, a kind of master-craftsmanship and mental dominance that holds the reader.
THE MASTER OF APPLEBY. By Francis Lynde. Ill.u.s.trated by T. de Thulstrup.
A novel tale concerning itself in part with the great struggle in the two Carolinas, but chiefly with the adventures therein of two gentlemen who loved one and the same lady.
A strong, masculine and persuasive story.
A MODERN MADONNA. By Caroline Abbot Stanley.
A story of American life, founded on facts as they existed some years ago in the District of Columbia. The theme is the material love and splendid courage of a woman.
