A Kentucky Girl. By ELEANOR TALBOT KINKEAD. 12mo, 276 pages, $1.00.

A charming tale of the Sunny South, and of a brave, beautiful, and attractive girl-a story of ideals and yet a story of the real. It is written in exquisite English, and with a flavor of delicate humor. The book will not fail to prove delightful reading, and i's careful descriptions of Southern places and people, and the beauty of its narrative style, must render it very attractive. Miss Kinkead has written other tales of the South, but never so good a one as this.

[blocks in formation]

This latest addition to the "Tales from Foreign Lands" sustains the high and unique reputation of the series. Freedom of thought and action, high-mindedness, and courageous devotion to principle are the heroine's ideals, and to follow them unswervingly she resigns all her ancestral estates and wealth and joins the man she loves. The author, Caroline Svetla, though regarded as the George Eliot of Bohemia, has thus far, we believe, remained unknown to English readers.

Previous volumes of the "Tales from Foreign Lands" Series are: Memories, Graziella, Marie, Madeleine, Marienels, Cousin Phillis, Karine.

THREE FRESHMEN

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

By EFFIE W. MERRIMAN. Illus., 12mo, $1.25. In many of our States the practice of "binding out poor children to farmers in the country districts still prevails. This story relates in most interesting fashion the adventures of a brother and sister who suffered this experience after their parents died. Bad treatment made the boy run away to the city, where he fell in with the title character, a sort of juvenile Mark Tapley, who is entirely new to fiction.

THE WIDOW O'CALLAGHAN'S BOYS

By GULIELMA ZOLLINGER. Illus., 12mo, $1.25. Left with seven small boys ranging from three to thirteen years of age, the brave little Irish widow in this story is obliged to leave her husband's farm and occupy a rude shanty in a small country town. She takes in washing and sends her sons to school. Her management and encouragement of them, amid poverty and trouble, the characters of the boys themselves, their cheerfulness, courage, and patience, and the firm grip which they take of the lowest rounds of the ladder of success, are told simply, forcibly, interestingly, and, altogether, delightfully.

RED ROCK. By Thomas Nelson Page

A Chronicle of Reconstruction. With illustrations by B. West Clinedinst. 12m0, $1.50.

Mr. Page's new novel is a romantic love-story of the South just after the War—a time when romance and pathos combined in many picturesque developments, as Mr. Page's former writings have amply attested. "Red Rock" has much of the same note which made " Marse Chan" famous. "It shows more breadth and power than any of his previous works, and, while retaining the charm of his short stories, adds the dramatic vigor of a mature novel."-Burlington Free Press.
