Cleg Kelly, Arab of the City.

His Progress and Adventures.

[Image of text decoration unavailable.]

“A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled.... If ever there was an ideal character in fiction it is this heroic ragamuffin.”—London Daily Chronicle.

“In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in ‘Cleg Kelly.’ It is one of the great books.”—Boston Advertiser.

Bog-Myrtle and Peat.

“Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life written in words that thrill and burn.... All are set down in words that are fit, chaste, and noble. Each is a poem that has the immortal flavor.”—Boston Courier.

The Lilac Sunbonnet.

“A love story pure and simple—one of the old-fashioned, wholesome, sunshiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero, and a heroine who is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any other love story half so sweet has been written this year it has escaped our notice.”—New York Times.
