BOOTLES’ CHILDREN.(Illustrated byJ. Bernard Partridge.) (11th Edition.)
“John Strange Winter is never more thoroughly at home than when delineating the characters of children, and everyone will be delighted with the dignified Madge and the quaint Pearl. The book is mainly occupied with the love affairs of Terry (the soldier servant who appears in many of the preceding books), but the children buzz in and out of its pages much as they would come in and out of a room in real life, pervading and brightening the house in which they dwell.”—Leicester Daily Post.
THE CONFESSIONS OF A PUBLISHER.
“The much discussed question of the relations between a publisher and his clients furnishes Mr John Strange Winter with material for one of the brightest tales of the season. Abel Drinkwater’s autobiography is written from a humorous point of view; yet here, as elsewhere, ‘many a true word is spoken in jest,’ and in the conversations of the publisher and his too ingenuous son, facts come to light that are worthy of the attention of aspirants to literary fame.”—Morning Post.
MIGNON’S HUSBAND.(14th Edition.)
“It is a capital love story, full of high spirits, and written in a dashing style that will charm the most melancholy of readers into hearty enjoyment of its fun.”—Scotsman.
THAT IMP.(12th Edition.)
“Barrack life is abandoned for the nonce, and the author of ‘Bootles’ Baby’ introduces readers to a country home replete with every comfort and containing men and women whose acquaintanceship we can only regret can never blossom into friendship.”—Whitehall Review.
“This charming little book is bright and breezy, and has the ring of supreme truth about it.”—Vanity Fair.
MIGNON’S SECRET.(17th Edition.)
“In ‘Mignon’s Secret’ Mr Winter has supplied a continuation to the never-to-be-forgotten ‘Bootles’ Baby.’ ... The story is gracefully and touchingly told.”—John Bull.
ON MARCH.(10th Edition.)
“This short story is characterised by Mr Winter’s customary truth in detail humour, and pathos.”—Academy.
“By publishing ‘On March,’ Mr J. S. Winter has added another little gem to his well-known store of regimental sketches. The story is written with humour and a deal of feeling.”—Army and Navy Gazette.
IN QUARTERS.(11th Edition.)
“‘In Quarters’ is one of those rattling tales of soldiers’ life which the public have learned to thoroughly appreciate.”—The Graphic.
“The author of ‘Bootles’ Baby’ gives us here another story of military life, which few have better described.”—British Quarterly Review.
ARMY SOCIETY: Life in a Garrison Town.
Cloth, 6s.; in Picture Boards, 2s.(10th Edition.)
“This discursive story, dealing with life in a garrison town, is full of pleasant ‘go’ and movement which has distinguished ‘Bootles’ Baby,’ ‘Pluck,’ or, in fact, a majority of some half-dozen novelettes which the author has submitted to the eyes of railway bookstall patronisers.”—Daily Telegraph.
“The strength of the book lies in its sketches of life in a garrison town, which are undeniably clever.... It is pretty clear that Mr Winter draws from life.”—St James’s Gazette.
GARRISON GOSSIP, Gathered in Blankhampton.
(A Sequel to “Army Society.”) Cloth, 2s.6d.; in Picture Boards, 2s.(6th Edition.)
“‘Garrison Gossip’ may fairly rank with ‘Cavalry Life,’ and the various other books with which Mr Winter has so agreeably beguiled our leisure hours.”—Saturday Review.
“The novel fully maintains the reputation which its author has been fortunate enough to gain in a special line of his own.”—Graphic.
A SIEGE BABY.
Cloth, 2s.6d.; Picture Boards, 2s.(5th Edition.)
“The story which gives its title to this new sheaf of stories by the popular author of ‘Bootles’ Baby’ is a very touching and pathetic one.... Amongst the other stories, the one entitled ‘Out of the Mists’ is, perhaps, the best written, although the tale of true love it embodies comes to a most melancholy ending.”—County Gentleman.
