Schiggi-Schiggi

(1st Cheap Edition)

Here is the real atmosphere of wild South America in a lively narrative recounting the adventures of Leo Parcus among the forests of Bolivia : the spice of danger is never very far away.

“Makes a breathless narrative.”—Sunday Times. “Full of interest for readers who enjoy a plunge into the first-hand study of wild life.”—Scotsman.

The LAND of the LINGAM

By ARTHUR MILES (7th Thousand) (GERVEE BARONTE)

A startling account of Hinduism and its multitudinous religious practices, in which human sacrifices, fanatical self-tortures, sex hysteria, magic, and a host of super¬ stitions are seen all to play their part. Thus, in addition to a great deal of information of a concrete and sociological nature, the author reveals the tangled, age-old lore which is the very warp and woof of the national life of India.

“An exhaustive source of information.55—John o' London's Weekly. “An out¬ spoken book.”—Daily Express.

A DAUGHTER of the NARIKIN

By ETSU INAGAKI SUGIMOTO

(1st Cheap Edition)

As in Madame Sugimoto’s famous A Daughter of the Samurai, one feels here too the charm and beauty of the old ways and gracious ancient traditions, but one also sees them a little disturbed by the growing ferment of Westernized Japan.

This story of Yukiko, the little bride-to-be and daughter of a Narikin (a millionaire, a self-made man), has the feeling and atmosphere of its pre¬ decessor.

The Morning Post praises the “delicacy of style and the simplicity of the narrative”.
