THE INVADERS
By FRANCES N.S. ALLEN
"A warm, rich, human story, which takes its substance from the successful inroads of thrifty Irish and Polack and the whole whatnot of foreign newcomers upon the lean New England land, with the desperate resentments growing out of this usurpation and the futile attempts to stem the tide of encroachment."—Washington Evening Star.
"A capital story, but also a fine piece of workmanship and a contribution to sociology."—Congregationalist.
"A clean, wholesome, stimulating story pleasantly told."—Detroit Free Press.
"Deals wisely and sympathetically with one of the big social problems which beset changing New England."—Brooklyn Eagle.
V.V.'S EYES
By HENRY SYDNOR HARRISON
"'V.V.'s Eyes' is a novel of so elevated a spirit, yet of such strong interest, unartificial, and uncritical, that it is obviously a fulfillment of Mr. Harrison's intention to 'create real literature.'"—Baltimore News.
"In our judgment it is one of the strongest and at the same time most delicately wrought American novels of recent years."—The Outlook.
"'V.V.'s Eyes' is an almost perfect example of idealistic realism. It has the soft heart, the clear vision and the boundless faith in humanity that are typical of our American outlook on life."—Chicago Record-Herald.
"A delicate and artistic study of striking power and literary quality which may well remain the high-water mark in American fiction for the year.... Mr. Harrison definitely takes his place as the one among our younger American novelists of whom the most enduring work may be hoped for."—Springfield Republican.
STORIES OF CHARM
By WILLIAM JOHN HOPKINS
THE CLAMMER
"It is seldom that one comes upon a bit of fiction which combines so much clever fancy with so much delicacy, or which blends light comedy so skillfully with deep feeling."—Brooklyn Eagle.
OLD HARBOR
"A tale to chuckle over.... It is not often that a reader has an opportunity in the pages of a book to come in touch with such a group of genial and lovable people."—Minneapolis Journal.
THE MEDDLINGS OF EVE
"Brings us once again into touch with those delightful and very human people that we learned to know in 'The Clammer.'"—The Bookman.
CONCERNING SALLY
"The story is at once so human and so unusual that it excites deep interest.... Sally is a real person, a person whose woes and joys the reader cannot choose but share."—Boston Herald.
A SAFETY MATCH
By IAN HAY
"Delineates the progress of a marriage of convenience with an agreeably delicate touch." New York Sun.
"The story is well written and of the variety which, once commenced, keeps the candle burning regardless of the hour until the end." Boston Herald.
"The 'handsome rectory children' of the early chapters, their vague father, and their muddled but affectionate home life, are things of pure joy." London Punch.
"Simple, yet strong, and strong because its simplicity is natural, the book will commend itself to all who love sane, wholesome and cheerful fiction." San Francisco Chronicle.
"There is humor everywhere of the sparkling rather than the gleaming variety, and it makes the book delightful to read." The Dial.
"Its homely, human humor, and its wonderful narrative of events, both commonplace and extraordinary, hold the interest of the reader unswervingly from the first chapter to the last." St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
A COUNTRY LAWYER
By HENRY A. SHUTE
"Rarely do we find a book so full of wholesome sentiment.... Fairly bubbles with good humor.... A book well worth reading and then well worth remembering." Boston Globe.
"Judge Shute has told a good story, at the same time incorporating into it the stir, bustle and ginger of a New Hampshire town." Milwaukee Free Press.
"Humor and clever portrayal of country character prevail in this story." Detroit Free Press.
"Judge Shute has told a thoroughly readable story, and one which has the added charms of freshness and spirit." Minneapolis Journal.
MOTHER CAREY'S CHICKENS
By KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN
"A fitting successor to the far-famed Rebecca." Boston Transcript.
"Mother Carey is one of the sweetest and truest models of motherhood imaginable." The Outlook.
"A book to enjoy, a book to love, and a book to be grateful for." Westminster Gazette.
"A delightful book for girls, not to mention the boys and the mothers and fathers, is 'Mother Carey's Chickens,' one of the best of the many good stories that Mrs. Wiggin has written.... Mother Carey is a real human mother and her children are a lively flock of real youngsters, all different and all worth knowing." Springfield Republican.
"A book to brighten and sweeten every home into which it enters." British Weekly.
