ness of humor, gentle pathos, and the subtlety with which lessons moral and otherwise are conveyed to children, and perhaps to their seniors as well."--The Spectator. Joan's Adventures at the North Pole and Elsewhere. BY ALICE CORKRAN. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents. "Wonderful as the adventures of Joan are, it must be admitted that they are very naturally worked out and very plausibly presented. Altogether this is an excellent story for girls."--Saturday Review. Count Up the Sunny Days: A Story for Girls and Boys. By C. A. JONES. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents. "An unusually good children's story."--Glasgow Herald. The Heir of Redclyffe. By CHARLOTTE M. YONGE. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00. "A narrative full of interest from first to last.
