BOOK REVIEWS.
Charles Scribner's Sons, Fifth Avenue, New York, have sent us one of the
most fascinating books to write to THE GREAT ROUND WORLD boys
about.
_Dan Beard's American Boy's Book of Sport._
No one but a boy could have written such a tip-top boy's book. Dan Beard
is a boy, and has been a boy for thirty or more years, and always will be
a boy even if he lives twice thirty years more. In this book of his he has
put a host of good things that we boys need every day.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter games; how to play marbles; make and
fly kites; make a boat, and sail it, too; how to fish, skate, shoot, and
swim, and hundreds of other things are in this book of books--and all are
told as only a boy can tell boys.
It is not filled with impossible games that you never wish to play,
impossible kites that you cannot fly, boats that you cannot row or sail,
ways of swimming that you cannot learn to swim, or kinds of fishing that
you cannot fish, but is just filled cram full, from cover to cover, with
just what you will wish to know if you want to keep on being noble,
strong, manly boys.
We cannot say all that we would wish to in this short space, but you can
find out all about it by writing to Mr. Moffat, care of Charles Scribner's
Sons. Ask him for a full catalogue. This will be sent free to any reader
of the GREAT ROUND WORLD.
