Anderson Crow, Detective (1918)-
Marshall Crow, of Tinkletown, was elected to office not long after the close of the Civil War. On a number of occasions since then he has been on the point of retiring, only to find himself re-elected without opposition or even consent. Now at the ripe age of seventy-five, he is still the principal man of the village. Tinkletown laughs at him, but will always honor and respect him.
Beverly of Graustark (1904)-
Beverly is a bewitching American girl who has gone to that stirring little principality--Graustark--to visit her friend the princess, and there has a romantic affair of her own.
Brewster's Millions (1903)-
Montgomery Brewster is a poor man, until he inherits a large sum of money. However, the inheritance comes with a catch: he has to spend every penny of his new fortune within 30 days! Success means he'll gain an even larger sum, but should he fail he remains penniless -- and the lawyers get the estate...
Castle Craneycrow (1902)-
The story revolves round the abduction of a young American woman, her imprisonment in an old castle and the adventures created through her rescue.
The City of Masks (1918)-
The city is New York and the masks are worn by titled foreigners whose fortunes have fallen so low that they have drifted into employments much below their station in life. Once a week the Princess who runs a pawnshop, the Lord who is a chauffeur, the titled English governess, and their friends gather at a salon held by the Marchioness who runs a fashionable dressmaking establishment. The governess is the real heroine of the story and her love affair ends happily after many exciting adventures.
The Daughter of Anderson Crow (1907)-
In addition to all the elements of his earlier novels, "The Daughter of Anderson Crow" contains a remarkable piece of character drawing. The mistakes and disasters of foolish, kind-hearted old Anderson Crow, the town marshal, will call forth many a laugh, and much liking for this most gullible of detectives and kindest of foster fathers.
The Day of the Dog (1904)-
An amusing little story of a man, a woman, and a dog. The situation has no little artistic excellence; Mr. McCutcheon and the dog have ingeniously "treed," as it were, the hero and heroine into a tête-à-tête transation of legal business while sitting on a rafter of the barn; this is both novel and pleasing.
A Fool and His Money (1913)-
This treatment of "the problem novel" is whimsically satirical, perhaps too strongly so--the theme dealing with an American author of independent fortune who buys a feudal castle in Germany and on entering into occupancy finds the east wing of his fortress inhabited by a beautiful but mysterious lady.
Graustark (1901)-
A story of love behind a throne, telling how a young American met a lovely girl and followed her to a new and strange country. A thrilling, dashing narrative.
The Hollow of Her Hand (1912)-
A story of modern New York, built around an ancient enmity, born of the scorn of the aristocrat for one of inferior birth.
Jane Cable (1905)-
A foundling from an orphan asylum is instrumental in saving the crumbling marriage of an obscure railroad man and his wife. The same foundling, twenty years later, is the source of tragedy for her adoptive parents, her fiance, and herself. A romance of 1890s Chicago, Jane Cable has a contrived plot and stereotyped characters, but the plot moves and the characters play their roles in a manner reminiscent of Jane Austin or Charlotte Bronte creations. --Book Review Digest, 1906
The Man from Brodney's (1908)-
An island in the South Sea is the setting for this entertaining tale, and an all-conquering hero and a beautiful princess figure in a most complicated plot. The hero meets a princess in a far-away island among fanatically hostile Musselmen. Romantic love making amid amusing situations and exciting adventures.
Mr. Bingle (1915)-
How a little clerk always pinched in income suddenly becomes rich and...
