THE TALES OF JOHN OLIVER HOBBES

With a Frontispiece Portrait of the Author

Second Edition. Crown 8vo., cloth, 6s.

"The deverness of them all is extraordinary." -Guardian,

"The volume proves how little and how great a thing it is to write a Pseudonym,' Four whole 'Pseudonyms .., are easily contained within its not extravagant limits, and these four little books have given John Oliver Hobbes a recognized position as a master of epigram and narrative comedy."-St. James's Gazette,

"As her star has been sudden in its rise so may it stay long with os! Some day she may give us something better than these tingling, pulsing, mocking, epigrammatic morsels." -Times.

"There are several literary ladies, of recent origin, who have tried to come up to the society ideal; but John Oliver Hobbes is by far the best writer of them all, by far the most capable artist in fiction. .,. She is clever enough for anything." Saturday Review

THE HERB MOON

JOHN OLIVER HOBBES

Third Edition. Crown 8vo., cloth, 6s.

"The jaded reader who needs sauce for his literary appetite cannot do better than bay 'The Herb Moon.'"-Literary World.

"A book to bail with more than common pleasure. The epigrammatic quality, the power of rapid analysis and brilliant presentation are there, and added to these a less definable quality, only to be described as charm. ... "The Herb Moon' is as clever as most of its predecessors, and far less artificial,"-Atheneum.
