y exciting and exceptionally outstanding. With power and imagination Lynd Ward has illustrated the book with over eighty drawings in two colors. _Illustrated by_ Lynd Ward * * * * * Johnny Tremain _By Esther Forbes_ Illustrated by _Lynd Ward_ "If Jonathan Lyte Tremain never lived in the flesh, he lives vividly with the men of his time in this book. So we dare to put him among the people of importance. "He is a boy, an apprentice to a silver-smith in Boston, when we meet him just before the American Revolution. Casting the handle of a sugar basin for John Hancock, he seriously burns his right hand. He is crippled, the work that he loves must be given up--forever. Johnny goes through some hard and bitter times before he finds his work in the struggle that is to free the Colonies from British rule. The solution comes through the young printer, who likes Johnny and befriends him. Rab, too, is a 'person of importance.'... "This story of Johnny Tremain is almost uncanny in its 'aliveness.' Esther Forbes's power to create, and to recreate, a face, a voice, a scene takes us as living spectators to the Boston Tea Party, to the Battles of Lexington and of North Creek. It takes us, with Johnny, to the secret meetings of the Sons of Liberty, to the secret training of the Minute Men...." _Saturday Review of Literature_ $3.00 * * * * * End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Mr. Wicker's Window, by Carley Dawson *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MR.
