RELDA.BLB NOVELS.—The Sorcerer's Stone. By Beatrice Grimshaw. (Hodder and Stoughton.

6s.)—This truly thrill- ing story, or rather succession of stories, concerns the finding and keeping of a great diamond, and is free from any irrelevant love interest. —The Magic Tale of Harvanger and Yolande. By G. P. Baker. (Mills and Boon. 6s.)—Mr. Baker has used considerable ingenuity in the devising of this curious tale, half parable and half adventure, and in his use of a pseudo-old- English style—The Priceless Thing. By Maud Stepney Rawson. (Stanley Paul and Co. 66.)—Anstice is a fascina- ting heroine, the "priceless thing" is a Shakespeare autograph, and Mrs. Rawson steers them, and us, through a plot as complicated as that of a Drury Lane melodrama.— The Making of Blain. By Arthur Stanley Turberville. (Sidgwick and Jackson. 6s.)—Afirstnovel of great distinction, embracing four generations, and dealing with the conflict of opposing temperaments in a family.
