Blackie's Books for Young People, Catalogue - 1899

Synopsis

With Frederick the Great: A Tale of the Seven Years’ War. By G. A. Henty. With 12 page Illustrations by Wal Paget, and Maps. 6s.

“The story is one of Mr. Henty’s best, and so cleverly is history interwoven with fiction that the boy who reads it will know as much about the Seven Years’ War as many an adult student of Carlyle’s masterpiece.”—Standard.

With Moore at Corunna: A Tale of the Peninsular War. By G. A. Henty. With 12 page Illustrations by Wal Paget. 6s.

“A very spirited story, well worthy to be ranked with the best of Mr. Henty’s work. Terence O’Connor, up to the time of the opening of the tale, has done little but get into mischief, but as soon as he feels the responsibility of being one of Mr. Henty’s heroes, combines discretion with courage, not forgetting, however, to spice the mixture with a little fun.”—Spectator.
