Works by Ethel Turner

(MRS. H. R. CURLEWIS).

Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, bevelled boards, gilt edges, 3s. 6d.

THE STOLEN VOYAGE.

Illustrated by J. Macfarlane and others.

“The book is prettily bound and profusely illustrated, and although it is primarily intended for the young, one may safely say that when its lucky boy or girl owner has to shut it up and trot off to bed, there will be an older member of the family thankful for the opportunity of getting a bit more read.”—The Schoolmaster.

IN THE MIST OF THE MOUNTAINS.

“A story that will at once appeal to both boys and girls by reason of its natural setting and its captivating dialogue. It is without doubt one of the best of the season’s gift books.”—The Teacher’s Aid.

THE WHITE ROOF-TREE.

Illustrations by A. J. Johnson.

“It is a charming picture of young life, painted as the authoress knows how to depict it. She has a fresh and tender touch indeed, which has singled her out as the happy successor of Miss Alcott, and won for her the golden opinions of her juvenile readers.”—The Leicester Post.

MOTHER’S LITTLE GIRL.

Illustrations by A. J. Johnson.

“A beautiful story. . . . One that draws out all the author’s wonderful capacities for direct and naturally emotional and sentimental writing. The grown-ups, the little folks and their every-day experiences are portrayed and described with a realism that brings them very near to the reader, affecting the feelings and impressing the memory.”—The Dundee Advertiser.

BETTY & CO.

Illustrated.

“Miss Ethel Turner has lost none of her freshness, her tenderness, her charm, after so many years writing. . . . She comes very near genius in depicting child-life, and she is Australian to the core.”—The Queen.

LITTLE MOTHER MEG.

With Twenty-five Illustrations by A. J. Johnson.

This book is another of the Author’s delightful stories of child life, full of the same charms which brought into popularity her earlier stories; this new story is bound to enhance her reputation as one who can picture child life in all its natural innocence.

THE STORY OF A BABY.

Illustrated by Frances Ewan and others.

“A pretty and graceful little narrative.”—Daily Telegraph.

“A charming sketch of a girl-wife and the pitfalls of early married life.”—Liverpool Mercury.

THE RAFT IN THE BUSH.

With Sixteen Illustrations by H. C. Sandy and D. H. Souter.

SEVEN LITTLE AUSTRALIANS.

With Twenty-six Illustrations by A. J. Johnson.

“The pictures of their characters and careers seem taken from the life, and there is a novelty in some of the surroundings of the household which makes the volume eminently readable. . . . There are not wanting passages of true pathos, and some vividly picturesque descriptions of Australian scenery.”—Daily Telegraph.

THE FAMILY AT MISRULE. A Sequel to the above.

With Twenty-nine Illustrations by A. J. Johnson.

“Delightful young people they are, with all their mistakes and innocent naughtiness, yet so bright and natural they cannot fail to charm.”—Graphic.

“All who were delighted with ‘Seven Little Australians’—as all were who read the charming story—will welcome ‘The Family at Misrule.’ . . . The story is charmingly written.”—Leeds Mercury.

THREE LITTLE MAIDS.

Illustrated by A. J. Johnson.

“A tale of absorbing interest. The book all through is written in a vein that will afford genuine delight to those into whose hands it may fall.”—Morning Advertiser.

“A capital story, told with vivacity, point and humour. Admirably calculated to interest young people.”—Publishers’ Circular.

THE CAMP AT WANDINONG.

Illustrated by Frances Ewan and others.

“Ethel Turner has given us in ‘The Camp at Wandinong’ such an insight into the thoughts and nature of childhood as is nothing short of marvellous. It is no exaggeration to say that in our experience no truer representations of child life have ever been brought before the public. Mrs. Curlewis’s pathos is of that simple and intimate description that will find its way straight to the hearts of her readers.”—Ladies’ Field.

MISS BOBBIE.

Illustrated by Harold Copping.

“Simply delightful. . . . In its humour and its penetrating insight it is quite a masterpiece, comparable only with Miss Alcott’s ‘Little Men.’”—Daily Mail.

“In every way a delightful book. It is one of those simple histories of everyday life that children of all ages like to read, full of fast and furious fun.”—British Weekly.

THE LITTLE LARRIKIN.

Illustrated by A. J. Johnson.

“This is a most delightful, pathetic, and humorous—yet neither too pathetic nor too humorous—story.”—Speaker.

“So brightly written, and so full of delicate touches of both humour and pathos.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“An exceedingly clever and amusing story.”—St. James’s Gazette.
