Price 75 cents per volume. * * * * * * SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS LITTLE FOLKS ASTRAY. "This is a book for the little ones of the nursery or playroom. It introduces all the old favorites of the Prudy and Dotty books with new characters and funny incidents. It is a charming book, wholesome and sweet in every respect, and cannot fail to interest children under twelve years of age."--Christian Register. PRUDY KEEPING HOUSE. "How she kept it, why she kept it, and what a good time she had playing cook, and washerwoman, and ironer, is told as only Sophie May can tell stories. All the funny sayings and doings of the queerest and cunningest little woman ever tucked away in the covers of a book will please little folks and grown people alike."--Press. AUNT MADGE'S STORY. "Tells of a little mite of a girl, who gets into every conceivable kind of scrape and out again with lightning rapidity, through the whole pretty little book. How she nearly drowns her bosom friend, and afterwards saves her by a very remarkable display of little-girl courage. How she gets left by a train of cars, and loses her kitten and finds it again, and is presented with a baby sister 'come down from heaven,' with lots of smart and funny sayings."--Boston Traveller. * * * * * * SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS [Illustration: PRUDY KEEPING HOUSE. "'Oh, what a fascinating creature,' said the Man in the Moon, making an eye-glass with his thumb and forefinger, and gazing at the lady boarder. 'Are you a widow, mem?'"] SPECIMEN CUT TO "LITTLE PRUDY'S FLYAWAY SERIES." * * * * * * SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS LITTLE GRANDMOTHER. "Grandmother Parlen when a little girl is the subject. Of course that was ever so long ago, when there were no lucifer matches, and steel and tinder were used to light fires; When soda and saleratus had never been heard of, but people made their pearl ash by soaking burnt crackers in water; when the dressmaker and the tailor and the shoemaker went from house to house twice a year to make the dresses and coats of the family."--Transcript. LITTLE GRANDFATHER. "The story of Grandfather Parlen's little boy life, of the days of knee breeches and cocked hats, full of odd incidents, queer and quaint sayings, and the customs of 'ye olden time.' These stories of Sophie May's are so charmingly written
