BY RICHARD MARSH.
FRIVOLITIES: For Those Who are Tired of Being Serious. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, gilt top, 6s. 2nd Edition.
"Brimful of fun."--Daily Telegraph. "Mr. Marsh is a humorist who is genuinely funny."--St. James's Gazette. "For pure amusement we have not of late met anything to equal 'Frivolities.' The title is a little misleading, for the careless might imagine the book to contain nothing but trifles. In reality the stories are finished with the utmost skill. Their humour is irresistible."--The Yorkshire Post. "You do not merely smile as you read, but laugh outright, and you laugh all the time. Deliciously funny, and could not be better told."--The Scotsman.
TOM OSSINGTON'S GHOST. Crown Svo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
Illustrated by Harold Piffard. "Opens with a singularly dramatic and exciting situation, and the interest thus at once aroused is sustained steadily to the close."--The Sketch. "Mr. Marsh has been inspired by an entirely original idea, and has worked it out with great ingenuity. We like this weird but not repulsive story better than anything he has ever done."--The World.
