ing fortunes will
be eagerly followed.--_New England Magazine._
It is a story of boy and girl life in a Puritan colony, an historical
romance, indeed, for young people. Miss Plympton's stories are always
prime favorites, and she has never written quite so good a one as
this.--Providence News.
The tale is of King Philip's War, and little Alse's capture and rescue
are given with an eye to historical accuracy and with a clearer sense of
justice to the captors than characterized the "Indian stories" of twenty
years ago. Out of all this careful study of facts, combined with
literary skill, the child of to-day ought to get a fair idea of pioneer
life.--_Los Angeles Express._
The story is such a one as children delight in, and is withal so simple,
sweet, and wholesome that no better gift could be chosen for any
child.--_Lexington (Ky.) Herald._
THE CHICOPEE SERIES
BY MYRA SAWYER HAMLIN
[Illustration: "NAN."]
NAN AT CAMP CHICOPEE; OR, NAN'S SUMMER WITH THE BOYS.
The story is one of free, outdoor life, characterized by a deal of fine
descriptive writing and many bits of local color that invest the whole
book with an atmosphere which is actually fragrant; the entire story is
as fresh and as clear and as bright as if some of the breezes of "Lake
Chicopee" had blown straight through it from cover to cover and left
their odors of flowery pastures and pine woods and New Hampshire air on
every page.--_Bangor Commercial._
NAN IN THE CITY; OR, NAN'S WINTER WITH THE GIRLS.
A bright story in which children and animals play an equal part.--_The
Outlook._
It is a charmingly entertaining book from cover to cover, and in every
way entitled to a wide constituency of young readers. The story is well
told and the atmosphere is healthful and uplifting, while there is a
plot to keep the interest aroused, and around the central figure of the
story the reader's affection and good-will is bound to cling, for the
heroine is a type of young girl such as makes the world brighter and
happier for her presence.--_Boston Budget._
