1. The Picnic Party.
2. The Gold Thimble.
3. The Do-Somethings.
4. Christmas Gift.
5. Uncle Ben.
6. Birthday Party.

These are bright short stories for younger children who are unable
to comprehend the Starry Flag Series or the Army and Navy Series.
But they all display the author's talent for pleasing and
interesting the little folks. They are all fresh and original,
preaching no sermons, but inculcating good lessons.

and deals with life on the Great Lakes, for which a careful study
was made by the author in a summer tour of the immense water
sources of America. The story, which carries the same hero through
the six books of the series, is always entertaining, novel scenes
and varied incidents giving a constantly changing yet always
attractive aspect to the narrative. OLIVER OPTIC has written
nothing better."

"The series has this peculiarity, that all of its constituent
volumes are independent of one another, and therefore each story is
complete in itself. OLIVER OPTIC is, perhaps, the favorite author
of the boys and girls of this country, and he seems destined to
enjoy an endless popularity. He deserves his success, for he makes
very interesting stories, and inculcates none but the best
sentiments, and the 'Yacht Club' is no exception to this
rule."--_New Haven Journal and Courier_.
