Emily Fox-Seton-
A delightful novel in the author's most charming vein. The scene is laid in an English country house, where an amiable English nobleman is the centre of matrimonial interest on the part of both the English and Americans present. Graceful, sprightly, almost delicious in its dialogue and action. It is a book about which one is tempted to write ecstatically.

The Dawn of a To-morrow-
This wonderful story which aroused such comment and enthusiasm during its publication in Scribner's Magazine will be one of the most striking and important books of the year -- it sounds a note of cheer, of inspiration, or practical idealism.

The Head of the House of Coombe-
The best liked and most interesting of all Mrs. Burnett's remarkable stories.
In Connection with the De Willoughby Claim-
"It is typically an American novel, which, in its subtle, tragic performance, lays a tremendous hold upon the reader's sympathies.... The striking originality of the plot, the intensely dramatic climaxes, and the low, sweet thrills of happiness which are in such direct contrast, give the book a weirdness and a fascination that are hard to shake off"--Boston Herald.

In the Closed Room-
A mystic sort of tale of the tenements of New York, wherein a strange human flower blossoms and fades all too soon; the tale of a young girl who could make a living things out of pictures.

The Little Hunchback Zia-
A story of the Nativity. Zia is a little hunchback orphan living with an old woman who makes him beg. His wonderful, luminous eyes fill her with fear, but they attract nearly everyone else who sees him. How Zia is finally driven forth an outcast, how he sees Joseph and Mary and later the Christ-child, and what happens then is told by Mrs. Burnett as she alone could tell it.

Little Lord Fauntleroy-
At a very early age an American boy named Cedric is told that he is the sole heir to a British earldom, and so leaves New York to take up residence in his ancestral castle, where, after some initial resistance, he is joined by his middle-class mother, ''Dearest'', the widow of the late heir. His grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt, intends to teach the boy to become an aristocrat, but Cedric inadvertently teaches his grandfather compassion and social justice, while the artless simplicity and motherly love of Dearest warms his heart.
