ARABELLA KENEALY’S NOVELS
SOME MEN ARE SUCH GENTLEMEN
Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. Fifth Edition.
Academy—‘We take up a book by Miss Arabella Kenealy confidently expecting to be amused, and in her latest work we are not disappointed. The story is so brightly written that our interest is never allowed to flag. The heroine, Lois Clinton, is sweet and womanly.... The tale is told with spirit and vivacity, and shows no little skill in its descriptive passages.’
Pall Mall Gazette—‘A book to be read breathlessly from beginning to end. It is decidedly original ... its vivid interest. The picture of the girl is admirably drawn. The style is bright and easy.’
Literary World—‘A really good story, original, well written and strong. A really excellent and engaging story. The materials are rare, and, we must admit, ideal ... can be read with interest and enjoyment.’
Daily Chronicle—‘Miss Kenealy has original ideas, a nice faculty of literary expression.... Her description of the old house where dwelt her strange young heroine, is quite admirable.... There is a quaintness and an air of romance about the whole story, which are very pleasant to note and to remember.’
Truth—‘Its heroine is at once original and charming.’
DR JANET OF HARLEY STREET
Crown 8vo, cloth, 2s. 6d. Picture Boards, 2s.
This Book ran through Six Editions in the Six Shilling form.
Daily Chronicle—‘It is a clever book, and well worth reading; it can outstrip the ordinary novel by many knots per day (to pursue the metaphor), and it may make one or two people think who are unaccustomed to that exercise. Miss Kenealy has imagined an interesting character, and realised her vividly.’
Pall Mall Gazette—‘In “Dr Janet of Harley Street,” Dr Arabella Kenealy has shown that the art of writing lively fiction is not the least of her many accomplishments. Moreover, she has achieved the rare distinction of producing a novel which is didactic and not dull. Miss Kenealy has a quick sense of humour, and a lively faculty of observation, and her style is vivid and effective.’
THE HONOURABLE MRS SPOOR
Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. Fourth Edition.
Black and White—‘Her latest novel has advanced her to the front rank of lady novelists.’
The Daily Chronicle—‘A clever story. The most powerful piece of work that Miss Kenealy has done.’
The Pall Mall Gazette—‘This powerful story ... brilliantly achieved. Her style is, as always, graceful and easy, and her character sketches are excellent and humorous.’
