A NEW BOOK
By the Author of "That Lass o' Lowrie's."
AND OTHER STORIES.
By MRS. FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT,
Author of "That Lass o' Lowrie's."
One volume, small 12mo. Cloth extra, $1.25.
The volume includes eight of Mrs. Burnett's shorter stories which have appeared in the magazines during the last few years. It is needless to say that these have been among the most popular tales that have lately been written. Surly Tim (told in Lancashire dialect), which gives the title to the book, is perhaps better known than any short story yet published in Scribner's.
The present collection, including Esmeralda, Lodusky, Le Monsieur de la Petite Dame, etc., shows that the author can be successful in other scenes than those, the treatment of which has gained her so much critical praise and such wide popularity.
