Read FICTION books online

Reading books fiction Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself.

'Mr Everitt has made many a good shot in his book, which mixes the useful with the agreeable. Mr Everitt is a safe guide. He knows his subject uncommonly well.'—The Athenæum.

'An instructive and, at the same time, an amusing little manual on this interesting subject, a good deal of it being given dramatically in the form of a dialogue between solicitor and client.'—The Standard.

'"Shots from a Lawyer's Gun" is one of those books which no country house should be without.'—The Sporting Times or 'Pink 'un.'

Mrs Maclurcan's
Cookery Book

A Practical Cookery Book containing over 1000 recipes
DEDICATED TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE COUNTESS OF HOPETOUN

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3s. 6d.

PRESS OPINIONS

'The book deals largely with different ways of cooking meats, poultry, fish, game, and the making of different soups, jellies, and sweets generally. A considerable part is devoted to the making of beverages, starting with "How to make Tea," and right through, including punches, claret, and champagne cup, and ending with the homely and refreshing beverage, ginger beer. Under the heading of "Useful Hints," there are receipts for almost every imaginable household matter, from the polishing of furniture down to the cleaning of white straw hats. There are also a host of toilet remedies, which all ladies should carefully read.'—Australasian.

'Up-to-dateness, variety, and a well-arranged collection of recipes accompanied by simple directions, without too many details to bewilder the reader, characterise this most useful book on cookery.'—The Sheffield Independent.

'As a cookery book to read, it is perhaps a little too matter of fact, but we cannot dip into it without gaining an appreciation to discover some dishes that have been met but never before laid bare.'—Court Journal.

A Century of English
Fox-Hunting


By GEORGE F. UNDERHILL
Author of 'Hints to Hunting Men,' Etc.

Demy 8vo, cloth, gilt top, with coloured frontispiece by
John Leech, 9s. nett.

PRESS OPINIONS

'Fox-hunting is a tolerably well-worn theme; of books on the subject there is an abundance, both ancient and modern; so the author deserves credit for a fair measure of originality and presenting old friends in new dresses. "A Century of English Fox-Hunting" will prove a valuable addition to the libraries of all sportsmen.'—Westminster Gazette.

'The contents of the volume before us are remarkably cleverly compiled, for although many of the facts recorded within the cover will be familiar to the student of fox-hunting lore, yet even the most learned, we believe, will find some little anecdote of field craft that will be new to him.

'Taking the volume as a whole, we consider it extremely well mapped out, and that it will have a large circulation is not only our desire, but our opinion as a sporting writer. We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you, Brother George F. Underhill.'—The Shooting Times and British Sportsman.

'Mr George F. Underhill has written a very entertaining book in his "Century of English Fox-Hunting." He has succeeded in all his purposes, and has produced an admirable volume, notwithstanding the fact that, as soon as he commenced his work, the war denuded the hunting field of many of the keenest fox-hunters. In short, the book is an apologia for, and the exposition of, sport, and will be welcomed in the libraries.'—Army and Navy Gazette.

In the Land of the Boers
OR
THE OTHER MAN AND MYSELF
By Oliver Osborne
Illustrated by J.B. Clark

PRESS OPINIONS

'Mr Oliver Osborne belongs to that cheery company to whom hardship is a mere excuse for jocularity, and positive peril seems generally to suggest nothing more terrifying than a pun. It is an eminently readable record, for Mr Osborne was in Kruger's country at a very interesting time—the days of Barberton and the De Kaap Mines, the days when the Outlander first began to loom large in the Transvaal.'—Academy.

'A book with instruction and amusement in it.'—Daily Telegraph.

'Seldom has an unvarnished record formed more pleasant reading than does the account of these adventures.'—Glasgow Herald.

'This is a book of no ordinary literary merit.'—Western Morning News.

'For these reasons this new work entitled "Racing," which, being written by that well-known authority, W.C. A. Blew, is naturally full of interesting information in all matters connected with the Turf, and is also written in a light, gossipy, and eminently readable form, will be welcomed and appreciated by all lovers of the sport of which it treats.'—Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.
