Mr. Grant Richards's Recent Novels
M. P. Shiel—continued
THE LORD OF THE SEA 6s.
The Speaker: "Mr. M. P. Shiel has surpassed himself in his latest novel . . . This is a whole battery of artillery, whose reverberations, if they do not deafen the world, will long rumble in the public ear. It is an amazing book, conceived in as daring a mood as ever writer of sensational fiction experienced, and brought forth with the fine carelessness of certain greatness."
Author of "Monsieur Beaucaire"
THE TWO VANREVELS 6s.
Illustrated
The Daily Mail: "A quite delightful story. . . . The tale is Virginian, and is characterized by that heat of blood and indolence of nature which we have been accustomed to associate with the South. The time is just before the Civil War, and the temperature is growing sultry. Betty Carewe is a very charming girl, while her father is properly hateful. Vanrevel also makes a model hero; but the best character in the book is undoubtedly the hapless Crailey Gray, 'ne'er-do-well and light-o'-love, wit, poet, and scapegrace'."
THE CRIMSON WING 6s.
The British Weekly: The Crimson Wing is well worth reading, It will even be re-read. For though it is not likely to be forgotten, there are several scenes one likes to live through again. . . . The story is finely conceived and finely told."
