Profusely illustrated from photographs.
THE SON OF THE WOLF:
“Even the most listless reader will be stirred by the virile force, the strong, sweeping strokes with which the pictures of the northern wilds and the life therein are painted, and the in-sight given into the soul of the primitive of nature.”—Plain Dealer, Cleveland.
A DAUGHTER OF THE SNOWS:
It is a book about a woman, whose personality and plan in the story are likely to win for her a host of admirers. The story has the rapid movement, incident and romantic flavor which have interested so many in his tales. The illustrations are by F. C. Yohn.
THE JUNGLE,By Upton Sinclair:
A book that startled the world and caused two hemispheres to sit up and think. Intense in interest, the dramatic situations portrayed enthrall the reader, while its evident realism and truth to life and conditions have gained for it the title of “The ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ of the Twentieth Century.”
“I should be afraid to trust myself to tell how it affects me. It is a great work; so simple, so true, so tragic, so human.”—David Graham Phillips.
Cloth, 12 mo. Price, seventy-five cents, postpaid.
