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._ NAN'S CHICOPEE CHILDREN. (_Completing The Chicopee Series._) _16mo. Cloth. Illustrated. Each,_ $1.25. 'TWIXT YOU AND ME A STORY FOR GIRLS BY GRACE LE BARON _Author of "Little Miss Faith," "Little Daughter," "The Rosebud Club," and "Queer Janet"_ [Illustration] _12mo. Cloth. With pictures by Ellen Bernard Thompson and floral decorations by Katherine
