ader. The Tapestry Room: A Child's Romance. By Mrs. Molesworth "Mrs. Molesworth is a charming painter of the nature and ways of children; and she has done good service in giving us this charming juvenile which will delight the young people."--Athenaeum, London. Little Miss Peggy: Only a Nursery Story. By Mrs. Molesworth. Mrs. Molesworth's children are finished studies. A joyous earnest spirit pervades her work, and her sympathy is unbounded. She loves them with her whole heart, while she lays bare their little minds, and expresses their foibles, their faults, their virtues, their inward struggles, their conception of duty, and their instinctive knowledge of the right and wrong of things. She knows their characters, she understands their wants, and she desires to help them. Polly: A New Fashioned Girl. By L. T. Meade. Few authors have achieved a popularity equal to Mrs. Meade as a Writer of stories for young girls. Her characters are living beings of flesh and blood, not lay figures of conventional type. Into the trials and crosses, and everyday experiences, the reader enters at once with zest and hearty sympathy. While Mrs. Meade always writes with a high moral purpose, her lessons of life, purity and nobility of character are rather inculcated by example than intruded as sermons. One of a Covey. By the author of "Miss Toosey's Mission." "Full of spirit and life, so well sustained throughout that grown-up readers may enjoy it as much as children. This 'Covey' consists of the twelve children of a hard-pressed Dr. Partridge out of which is chosen a little girl to be adopted by a spoiled, fine lady. We have rarely read a story for boys and girls with greater pleasure. One of the chief characters would not have disgraced Dickens' pen."--Literary World. The Little Princess of Tower Hill. By L. T. Meade. "This is one of the prettiest books for children published, as pretty as a pond-lily, and quite as fragrant. Nothing could be imagined more attractive to young people than such a combination of fresh pages and fair pictures; and while children will rejoice over it--which is much better than crying for it--it is a book that can be read with pleasure even by older boys and girls."--Boston Advertiser. End of Project Gutenberg's Joyce's Investments, by Fannie E. Newberry *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK JOYCE'S INVESTMENTS *** ***** This file should be named 21857.txt or 21857.
