Stanley Paul's New Six Shilling Novels continued.
A Babe in Bohemia.
Author of " The Heart of a Child," " Dr. Phillips," etc,
FRANK DANBY
This author is not a prolific writer, and, therefore, every work from her pen is
awai'ed with much interest. She stands alone among the best modern writer* for
originality and freshness in style. This full length novel has been out of print for
many years and has now been practically rewritten by the author. Although the
thread of the story remains every page has been extensively revised, and will be
found to be as good as anything recently done by this popular writer.
The Consort. MRS. EVERARD COTES (SARA JEANNETTE
DUNCAN). Author of
" The Burnt Offering," " Cousin Cin-
derella," " The Path of a Star," etc.
The story of a little man married to a great woman, of their relations and interactions,
their battles and despairs, written round the strong and familiar interests of
passion and power. The story moves at a gallop, and it is tor the reader to meditate
and moralise when the book is laid aside.
The Yilla Mystery.
HERBERT FLOWERDEW
Author of " The Second Elopement," " The Third Wife," etc,
Woven in with the mystery of a crime as baffling at anything imagined by Gaboriau,
the pretty love story of Esmond Hare and Elsa Armandy engages the reader's sympathy
from the moment of their first meeting. This is in a lonely country road, at
midnight, where Elsa is on her knees picking up handfuls of sovereigns that do not
exactly belong to her, and the atmosphere of mingled mystery and romance continues
to surround their moving and unconventional love story up to the moment of its
happy ending.
Prince and Priest. BERYL SYMONS
Author of "A Lady of France."
A romance oi mediaeval 1-rance, which contains atmosphere, colour, life and movement.
1207 is the date when the story opens. Count Bertrand de Crein falls in love
with the beautiful Lady Rosamund, whom he is escorting to the Lord of Gervandan
in Toulouse, whose wife she is to be. In the meantime the Count of Toulouse is
threatened with Rome's curse and an armed crusade to put down heresy. In the
subsequent siege and sack of Beziers, Rosamund's husband is killed, and the love of
Rosamund and de Crein culminates in marriage. The book is full of excitement,
adventure, thrilling escapes, and heart-stirring romance.
Brass Faces. CHARLES McEvoY
An exciting modern story of grip and power, some of the most startling episodes
of which concern the kidnapping of a girl who has been turned out of house and
home by her father and imprisoned in a house in Kensington. She is rescued by a
bachelor, who in turn finds himself in a delicate position. An American female
detective plots his arrest and ruin. The story rushes on in a whirl of excitement
through a maze of plots and counterplots to a dramatic denouement.
The Meteoric Benson. VINCENT MILLS- MALET
A decidedly new note has been struck in this most readable and interesting novel.
As the name indicates it is an aeroplane story, and one of those rare books which
must be read at a sitting ; incident follows incident in ever-increasing interest, until
the reader, breathless from excitement, learns from the last page " what really did
happen."
