Iustrations by RatpH Pracock, and a Map. Crown 8vo, cloth
elegant, olivine edges, 5s.

“Is as good as anything of the kind we have met with. Mr. Leighton more
than holds his own with Rider Haggard and Baring Gould."—-The Times.

“Among the books best liked by boys of the sturdy English type few will take
a higher place than Olaf the Glorious. . . . Some of the descriptions of fights
are quite Homeric." —National Observer.

“This book will compare most favourably even with Mr. Rider Haggard’s
attempts to construct a modern Saga. . . . It is certain to be thoroughly
enjoyed by the boys.”—T'he Spectator. -

“The book will be spoken of as one for boys, but while it will meet the require-
ments of the most, fastidious of them, it will find no less appreciative readers
among men of all ages, . . . Asa story it is vigorous and engrossing, it will
leave on the mind of the more thoughtful reader a vivid impression of an age of
chivalry, as well as of battles on land and sea.”—Dundee Advertiser.

North Sea Fisher-boy. By Rozurr Laicuron. With 8 page
Illustrations by Frank Branewyn. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 5s.

‘This story should add considerably to Mr, Leighton’s high reputation. Ex-
cellent in every respect, it contains every variety of incident. The plot is very
cleverly devised, and the types of the North Sea sailors are capital.”—The Times.

The Pilots of Pomona: A Story of the Orkney Islands.
By Rozsrrr Luteuvon. With 8 page Illustrations by Joun Leten-

ron, anda Map. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5s.

“A story which is quite as good in its way as J'reasure Island, and is full of
adventure of a stirring yet most natural kind. Although it is primarily a boys’
book, it is a rea] godsend to the elderly reader.” —Glasgow Evening Times.

The Thirsty Sword: A Story of the Norse Invasion of
Scotland (1262-63). By Roserr Lerewron. With 8 page Illus-
