Maori and Settler: A Story of the New Zealand War

By Dr. Gordon Stables

page c13

By Dr. Gordon Stables.

Twixt School and College: A Tale of Self-reliance. By Gordon Stables, c.m., m.d., r.n. With 8 full-page Illustrations by W. Parkinson. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5s.

A story, the attractiveness of which lies less in the narration of startling adventures than in the incidents of home life which fill up the interval between the school life and college life of Fred Hallam. Dr. Gordon Stables' interest in natural history and domestic pets is well known, and his clever animal pictures, like that of the eccentric cat in The Hermit Hunter of the Wilds, have always added in no small degree to the charm of his works. The hero is presented by his father with an outlying cottage and garden on the farm, and the gift is turned to pleasant account as a place of residence for a whole menagerie of pets dear to the heart of most healthy-minded boys.
