     average.”--_Daily Telegraph._

Please read what the Critics say:

     _T.P.’s Weekly._--“So vivid and entertaining that we read on and on
     as if there had never been a ‘Robinson Crusoe.’ In ‘All Awry’ Miss
     Annesley has certainly put the best work she has yet done.... I
     expect ‘All Awry’ to be one of the most widely read books of the
     year.”

     _Observer._--“By far the best story Miss Annesley has given us.”

     _Globe._--“Miss Annesley has written nothing better than ‘All
     Awry.’”

POLLYOOLY

the most delightful gift book of the year for young and old. (Second
edition.) =6/-=

     _Pall Mall Gazette._--“An original creation. ‘Pollyooly’ never lets
     us be dull for a moment, and provides us with the liveliest
     entertainment. Mr. Jepson is to be congratulated on a new triumph.”

     _Daily Express._--“The jolliest little heroine imaginable....
     ‘Pollyooly’ is a veritable panacea for the hump.”

     _Sheffield Telegraph._--“A very delightful child study. The chief
     charm of the book is its laughter, light hearted, gay, and
     continuing to the last page of the last chapter.”

     _Daily Mail._--“Delightful reading from cover to cover. Brimful of
     genuine humour, which is never forced and therefore never palls.”

=ALL AWRY= and =POLLYOOLY= can be read by fathers, mothers, sons and
daughters. They are the two jolliest novels published this year. There is always a New MILLS & BOON NOVEL--Here is a NOVEL MILLS & BOON

MY GERMAN YEAR

By I. A. R. WYLIE

AUTHOR OF “IN DIFFERENT KEYS,” “DIVIDING WATERS,” “THE RAJAH’S PEOPLE,”
ETC. With 2 Illustrations in colour, and 18 from Photographs
Second Edition. Demy 8vo. =10s. 6d.= net

The _Westminster Gazette_ has reviewed “My German Year” as “a vivid,
attractive, and really informing volume,” and also as “wise,
well-informed, and very readable, with some delightful fresh information
and shrewd criticisms.” Also saying: “We close ‘My German Year’ with a
feeling of gratitude for very good entertainment all through, and with a
sense that though on a good many minor points the writer is led by her
enthusiasm to see matters in a far too roseate light, she has used her
brain and her eyes to good purpose during her ‘German Year,’ and has
written a book which suffers in no way by the fact that the last few
years have seen the publication in this country of several volumes on
the same subject.”

The _Evening Standard_ (also a lengthy notice) said: “We have seldom
read a more interesting book than ‘My German Year.’ Miss Wylie’s words
are often bitter to the taste, still more bitter very often is what she
leaves unsaid, the obvious inferences she hands on to us to draw, but it
is all extremely salutary, and should be read by every householder in
the land.”


MY ITALIAN YEAR

By RICHARD BAGOT

AUTHOR OF “CASTING OF NETS,” “A ROMAN MYSTERY,” “DONNA DIANA” “THE LAKES
OF NORTHERN ITALY,” “THE HOUSE OF SERRAVALLE,” ETC. With 25 Illustrations
Second Edition. Demy 8vo. =10s. 6d.= net

_Daily Mail._--“It is this new Italy--the country of the future and not
of the past--which forms the subject of Mr Bagot’s absorbingly
interesting pages. Twenty years’ residence in the country and a sound
knowledge of its language have enabled Mr Bagot to penetrate deeply into
the character not only of the Italian in general, but of the numerous
races that form the Italian nation; to form a just estimate of Italian
institutions, politics, social life, customs, and aspirations. He does
this with absolute impartiality, distributing praise and blame from the
vantage-point of his exceptional experience. For Mr Bagot appears to
have explored every corner of the country, and to have associated with
every class of its population.”

_Daily Telegraph._--“It is a thoughtful, knowledgeful book that Mr Bagot
has given us, and one that intending visitors to Italy will do well to
read and ponder over.”

_Daily Graphic._--“Mr Bagot’s book is a highly interesting and
sympathetic description of Italian life in all its phases.”
