| SWEETHEART TRAVELLERS |
| |
| |
| |
| By S. R. CROCKETT |
| |
| '_It is the rarest of all rarities, and veritably a |
| child's book for children, as well as for women and men. |
| It is seldom, indeed, that the reviewer has the |
| opportunity of bestowing unstinted praise, with the |
| feeling that the laudation is, nevertheless, inadequate. |
| "Sweetheart Travellers" is instinct with drollery; it |
| continually strikes the softest notes of tenderest pathos, |
| and it must make the most hardened bachelor feel something |
| of the pleasures he has missed in living mateless and |
| childless._'--TIMES. |
| |
| '_A more delightful book for young, old, and middle aged, |
| it is scarcely possible to conceive._'--TRUTH. |
| |
| '_We confess to having fallen under the spell of these |
| delightful chronicles. The illustrations are just what was |
| wanted to make this one of the most attractive books about |
| children._'--PALL MALL GAZETTE. |

| |
| By S. R. CROCKETT |

| about children we have ever read, we are still short of |
| the mark._'--DAILY CHRONICLE. |

| '_It is distinctly the best Christmas book of the |
| season._'--DAILY MAIL. |
| |
| '_In this excellent book for children, which the elders |
| will enjoy, Mr. Crockett comes right away from kailyard |
| into a kingdom of obstreperous fancy, and is purely, |
| delightfully funny, and not too Scotch.... Mr. Gordon |
| Browne's illustrations are as good a treat as the story; |
| they realise every thought and intention of the writer, |
| and, are full of a sly and characteristic drollery all the |
| artist's own._'--WORLD. |
