+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Illustrated by Gordon Browne | | | | _A Child's Book, for Children, for Women, and for Men._ | | | | SWEETHEART TRAVELLERS | | | | [Illustration] | | | | By S. R. CROCKETT | | | | '_It is the rarest of all rarities, and veritably a | | child's book for children, as well as for women and men. | | It is seldom, indeed, that the reviewer has the | | opportunity of bestowing unstinted praise, with the | | feeling that the laudation is, nevertheless, inadequate. | | "Sweetheart Travellers" is instinct with drollery; it | | continually strikes the softest notes of tenderest pathos, | | and it must make the most hardened bachelor feel something | | of the pleasures he has missed in living mateless and | | childless._'--TIMES. | | | | '_A more delightful book for young, old, and middle aged, | | it is scarcely possible to conceive._'--TRUTH. | | | | '_We confess to having fallen under the spell of these | | delightful chronicles. The illustrations are just what was | | wanted to make this one of the most attractive books about | | children._'--PALL MALL GAZETTE. | | | | [Illustration: On the road to Conway.--_p. 64._] | | | | =Large 8vo. printed on superfine paper, cloth boards, gilt | | top, 6s.; calf, 10s. 6d.= | | | | WELLS GARDNER, DARTON, & CO., LTD., LONDON | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

R. CROCKETT | | | | '_When we say it is one of the most delightful stories | | about children we have ever read, we are still short of | | the mark._'--DAILY CHRONICLE. | | | | '_It is distinctly the best Christmas book of the | | season._'--DAILY MAIL. | | | | '_In this excellent book for children, which the elders | | will enjoy, Mr. Crockett comes right away from kailyard | | into a kingdom of obstreperous fancy, and is purely, | | delightfully funny, and not too Scotch.... Mr. Gordon | | Browne's illustrations are as good a treat as the story; | | they realise every thought and intention of the writer, | | and, are full of a sly and characteristic drollery all the | | artist's own._'--WORLD. | | | | [Illustration: 'How quaint.'--_p. 375._] | | | | =Large crown 8vo. printed on superfine paper, cloth boards, | | gilt top, 6s.; calf, 10s. 6d.= | | | | WELLS GARDNER, DARTON, & CO., LTD., LONDON | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

The illustrations are full of | | charm and sympathy._'--SATURDAY REVIEW. | | | | '_A fairy book beyond reproach._'--GRAPHIC. | | | | '_We have nothing but praise for this | | collection._'--SKETCH. | | | | '_Grimm is always delightful, but in his present new dress | | he is more delightful than ever. Mr. Gordon Browne charms | | us always with his dainty pictures._'--GUARDIAN. | | | | '_All the illustrations are simply inimitable._'--QUEEN. | | | | [Illustration: 'The Prince who was afraid of Nothing.'--_p. | | 216._] | | | | _Large crown 8vo. printed on superfine paper, cloth boards, | | gilt top, 6s.; calf, 10s. 6d._ | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
