The success of Miss
Mackie's previous books will justify our prediction that a new volume
will receive an instant welcome.
God--The King--My Brother. A ROMANCE. By MARY F. NIXON.
Author of "With a Pessimist in Spain," "A Harp of Many Chords," etc.
With a frontispiece by H.C. Edwards.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages. $1.25
An historical tale, dealing with the romantic period of Edward the
Black Prince. The scene is laid for the most part in the sunny land of
Spain, during the reign of Pedro the Cruel--the ally in war of the
Black Prince. The well-told story records the adventures of two young
English knight-errants, twin brothers, whose family motto gives the
title to the book. The Spanish maid, the heroine of the romance, is a
delightful characterization, and the love story, with its surprising
yet logical denouement, is enthralling.
Punchinello. By FLORENCE STUART.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 325 pages. $1.50
A love story of intense power and pathos. The hero is a hunchback
(Punchinello), who wins the love of a beautiful young girl. Her sudden
death, due indirectly to his jealousy, and the discovery that she had
never faltered in her love for him, combine to unbalance his mind. The
poetic style relieves the sadness of the story, and the reader is
impressed with the power and brilliancy of its conception, as well as
with the beauty and grace of the execution.
