KINGSLEY, CHARLES.
Westward Ho!
Illustrated by C.E. Brock.
Macmillan. 1.50
A glorious tale of the voyages and adventures of Sir Amyas Leigh, a
Devon knight of Elizabethan days.
Oh, where be these gay Spaniards,
Which make so great a boast O?
Oh, they shall eat the grey-goose feather,
And we shall eat the roast O!
_Cornish Song._
SCOTT, WALTER.
Ivanhoe.
Macmillan. 1.25
Scott's masterpiece contains, within the compass of a single volume,
sufficient material for five or six books of romance. Incident follows
upon incident, and holds the reader, young or old, with entranced
attention. The period is that of King Richard I.
SCOTT, WALTER.
Kenilworth.
Macmillan. 1.25
The tragic Elizabethan story of Leicester and Amy Robsart. It is not
beyond the comprehension of most young people of fourteen.
SCOTT, WALTER. (p. 230)
The Talisman.
Macmillan. 1.25
The scene of The Talisman is in Palestine with Richard Coeur de
Lion and his allies of the Third Crusade. From the contest on the
desert between the Saracen cavalier and the Knight of the
Sleeping Leopard to the final Battle of the Standard it is full
of interest.
