BOOKS OF THE WEST COUNTRY


SIR BEVILL

By ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER THYNNE

With 7 Illustrations by J. Ley Pethybridge, and a Portrait of Sir Bevill Granville after Vandyck.

Crown 8vo, 6s.

ACADEMY.―"Altogether delightful, setting the reader amid broom and heather on the Devon moors, or by the sounding sea on the Cornish coast.…All the everyday life is admirably rendered, and many of the side characters are brilliantly sketched."

SATURDAY REVIEW.―"Master Teague is almost as magnificent in his hypocritical villainy as our old friend Trusty Tomkins of 'Woodstock.'…The stag hunt, the witch hunt, the gipsy camp, the Court masque, and the battle are admirable."

OUTLOOK.―"A very living and lovable bit of work, sweet with the scent of heather and breath of the sea."

DAILY MAIL.―"A rollicking good romance of Stuart days."

DAILY EXPRESS.―"Well written, exciting, and breezy of the western moors."

Mr. G. R. SIMS, in REFEREE.―A most delightful book, the work of an old friend of mine, Canon Thynne, who has, in 'Sir Bevill,' told with skill and charm and authority, a story of the days of Charles I. I have spent some sleepless nights very pleasantly with Sir Bevill.'"

DAILY CHRONICLE.―"The author describes well, and has the gift of telling incident."
