Author of "Dr. Luke of the Labrador" Battles Royal Down North Appreciation by Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell. Sir Wm. Robertson Nicoll, LL.D.: "No one can read Mr. Norman Duncan's marvellous Newfoundland fisher idylls without feeling that an English Pierre Loti has arisen, a mystic of the unfathomable deeps." Harbor Tales Down North Appreciation by Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell. HonorÉ Willsie, in The New York Times Magazine. "We lost the best short story writer in the country when Norman Duncan died." MARY CAROLINE HOLMESThe Knock on the Door A Story of To-day. The story of a young man and woman who institute a search for the faith they have outgrown. Cynthia Holden, the girl, goes far on her quest, leaving Jim Trefethen, a young clergyman to whom she is engaged, to "tread the wine-press alone." The ending is a happy one, with an unexpected vision of a good Samaritan, ministering to an oppressed people who had fallen among thieves because of the war. BURRIS A. JENKINSIt Happened "Over There" A story of an American aviator and an English "lady of high degree." Dr. Jenkins' book is permeated with the atmosphere of these thrilling heart-searching days, and succeeds in visualizing sights and scenes, which set forth the unspeakable infamy of the Hun, and the unflinching, indomitable spirit of the Allies, one and all determined to work, suffer and endure to the end. J. J. BELLAuthor of "Wee Macgreegor" Johnny Pryde "Should be read aloud—otherwise the family circle wants to know what the joke is every time you laugh. There's a good laugh in every chapter—sometimes half a dozen, and it has the real J. J. Bell touch."—New York Evening Sun. |
