The LURE of the PEN

A Book for would-be Authors.

By FLORA KLICKMANN,

Editor of “The Girl’s Own and Woman’s Magazine”; Author of “The Flower-Patch among the Hills,” “Between the Larch-Woods and the Weir,” etc.

• (1) MSS. THAT FAIL. WHY THEY FAIL.
• (2) ON TRAINING YOURSELF FOR LITERARY WORK.
• (3) THE HELP THAT BOOKS CAN GIVE.
• (4) POINTS A WRITER OUGHT TO NOTE.
• (5) AUTHOR, PUBLISHER, & PUBLIC.

It is unique in its own line, breezily written, and crammed full of interest and information for those who read, as well as for those who want to write. Coming from so experienced an Editor it cannot fail to be authoritative.

The Bookman says: “The fresh and original standpoint from which the book is penned, the innumerable new and entertaining stories, the humour, wisdom, expert knowledge and common sense, make the LURE OF THE PEN not only invaluable to the literary aspirant, but also a work of amusement, interest and information to the general reader.”

LONDON: 4, BOUVERIE STREET, E.C. 4; and at all Bookshops.

“A pendant to ‘The Flower-Patch Among the Hills,’ and every whit as delightful.”—The Graphic.

. By .
FLORA KLICKMANN,
Editor of “The Girl’s Own and Woman’s Magazine,” etc.

A Joy-Book of the Hills. Overflowing with humour, bubbling with smiles, yet never out of sound of the soughing of the pines, the scold of the squirrel, the call of the birds, and the delicious pungent scent of woodsmoke.
A book to laugh over, to think over, and to be thankful for.

“We are quite glad to hear more of Miss Klickmann’s country holiday, her fellow holiday makers, and her neighbours, human and other; and of the cheerful spirit, not stifled by the distant sound of War.”—The Times.

“Another charming book which shows a keen appreciation both of nature and of the oddities of Mankind. The author’s kindly humour is irrepressible.”—The Spectator.

“The perception of beauty, the descriptive skill, the insight into character, the homely philosophy, the refreshing humour, the sane outlook, the fascinating style, all make a pleasant appeal to lovers of good books.”—The Methodist Recorder.

“Fun, humour (caustic but never unkindly), social satire (shrewd and penetrating, yet singularly pitiful), the reader will find in abundance in these pages.”—Mr. Coulson Kernahan, in the Bookman.

“It is characterised by a delightful sense of humour, and it is written with a light and graceful pen.”—The Glasgow Herald.

“The pages sparkle with humour, and the portraits of various country characters are entrancingly funny. There is more to be learned in the pages devoted to birds than in many a scientific volume.”—The Sphere.
