The Boats of The "Glen Carrig." By WM.

HOPE HODGSON.

The Luck of the Strong. By WM. HOPE [Shortly.]

HODGSON.

One cannot recall any author who in recent times has secured effects of greater intensity than Mr. William Hope Hodgson. His line of work is the mysterious, the uncanny, the occasionally creepy, and it is one that demands the finest order of imagination and ingenuity."— Daily Telegraph.

The House on the Borderland. By WM.

HOPE HODGSON.

[Shortly]

"It is an amazing story, showing a fertility of fancy practically unparalleled among modern novelists. In it the relations between the world of sense and that of imagination are treated of with an astounding freedom of courage, and the whole narrative is a study in the weird which sets the pulses beating even at midday in the sunlight."-The Bookshelf.

Men of the Deep Waters. By WM. HOPE [Shortly]

HODGSON.

"No lover of tales of mystery and imagination that are also good literature should miss this book."-Bookman.

"Mr. W. H. Hodgson writes with a convincing realism that takes you with him to the deck of the vessel."-Everyman.

"Mr. Hodgson's 'Men of the Deep Waters' is a serious contribution to literature. Its quality is excellent."-Times.

The Night Land: A Love Tale. By WM. HOPE [Shortly]

1. THE KINDNESS OF THE CELESTIAL

By Barry Pain

2. IN A CANADIAN CANOE

By Barry Pain

"If you want a really refreshing book, a book whose piquant savour and quaint originality of style are good for jaded brains, buy and read In a Canadian Canoe. There is in these stories a curious mixture of humour, insight, and pathos, with here and there a dash of grimness and a sprinkling of that charming irrelevancy which is of the essence of true humour. As for The Celestial Grocery,' I can only say that it is in its way a masterpiece."-Punch.

3. THE OCTAVE OF CLAUDIUS

By Barry Pain

By Barry Pain
