prepared many small accompanying sketches.
LAMB, CHARLES and MARY.
Mrs. Leicester's School.
Illustrated by Winifred Green.
Macmillan. 2.25
Narratives of the early days of some little school-girls of long ago,
related by themselves. Charmingly illustrated in color; the costumes
those of the period.
My Sister's part in the Leicester School (about two-thirds) was
purely her own; as it was (to the same quantity) in the
Shakespeare Tales which bear my name. I wrote only the Witch
Aunt, the First Going to Church, and the final story about a
little Indian Girl in a Ship.
LAMB.
SMITH, M.P. (W.).
Jolly Good Times.
Little. 1.25
Childhood days on a farm near old Deerfield, fifty or sixty years ago.
The story has a fresh, wholesome atmosphere, and children of to-day
love the simple happenings.
SMITH, M.P. (W.).
Jolly Good Times at School.
Little. 1.25
A continuation of the farm life of the children we learned to know (p. 113)
in Jolly Good Times, telling of school-days and winter fun.
SPYRI, JOHANNA.
Heidi.
De Wolfe. 1.50
This delightful book is generally accepted as giving the best picture
of child-life in the Swiss Alps.
STODDARD, W.O.
Two Arrows.
Harper. .60
The exploit by which a young Nez Perce won his name, and his further
prowess, are related. The adventures of a mining party and the pursuit
of rebellious Apaches by a company of United States cavalry are just
what boys will enjoy reading about.
WYSS, J.D.
The Swiss Family Robinson.
Illustrated by H. Kley.
Dutton. 2.50
The experiences of this shipwrecked family are thus happily
characterized by the _Spectator_: They _did_ sail in the tubs, and
train zebras and ostriches for riding, and grow apples and pines in
the same garden; and why shouldn't they?
YONGE, C.M.
The Little Duke.
Macmillan. 1.25
An account of the boyhood days of Richard the Fearless, Duke of
Normandy, vassal of Louis IV, one of the last of the degenerate line
of Charlemagne.
_ELEVEN YEARS OF AGE_ (p. 114)
_Clothes for the back, books for the head:
Read, and remember them when they are read._
