NOVELS BY J. C. SNAITH

THE VAN ROON

A remarkable novel, human to its very core, which tells of how a painting by an old master, newly discovered, became a cause of love and hate among a curious and delightful group of characters.


THE COUNCIL OF SEVEN

International mystery in which seven men come to grips with a war-preaching newspaper-syndicate. The hero, typical Snaith character, fights boldly against strangling intrigue.


THE UNDEFEATED

"It is distinctly a big novel—a book of vision and of understanding, of truth and beauty."—New York Times.

"The simplest and straightest work imaginable and mightily impressive."—Washington Star.


THE SAILOR

"It is a book that overwhelms the reader by the poignant and magnificent message that it carries. It is a book that is unforgettable."—Springfield Union.

"Interpretative, creative work of a very high order."—New York Times.


THE ADVENTUROUS LADY

A sparkling social comedy, top-full of delightful situations and characters, seasoned with incomparable humor and youthful buoyancy.


THE TIME SPIRIT

"The verbal fencing, sparkling colloquy and keen, swift repartee alone raise the story far above the dead level of society fiction."—Philadelphia North American.


THE COMING

"Mr. Snaith handles his theme delicately, poetically, with a fine and sensitive reverence."—Independent.

"It is a daring performance of impressive and triumphant strength."—New York Tribune.
