_Arabian Nights._ In a volume of _Everyman’s Library_. Another good edition is that prepared by Andrew Lang. JANE AUSTEN (1775-1817). _Sense and Sensibility._ _Pride and Prejudice._ _Mansfield Park._ _Emma._ _Northanger Abbey._ _Persuasion._ In _Everyman’s Library_. HONORÉ DE BALZAC (1799-1850). _Atheist’s Mass._ _The Chouans._ _Christ in Flanders._ _Eugénie Grandet._ _Old Goriot._ _The Quest of the Absolute._ _Wild Ass’s Skin._ These are the works of Balzac found in translation in _Everyman’s Library_. All the novels of Balzac have been translated into English. Balzac is not the easiest of French novelists to read in the original, though not very difficult. The young American who will take the trouble, and give himself the pleasure, of reading a score of French novels will find himself with a good reading knowledge of the language, and school and college examinations in French will lose their terror. JAMES MATTHEW BARRIE. _Auld Licht Idylls._ _A Window in Thrums._ _The Little Minister._ _Sentimental Tommy._ _Tommy and Grizel._ Mr. Barrie has the most tender and whimsical imagination of living writers in English. His later work has been largely for the stage. RICHARD DODDRIDGE BLACKMORE (1825-1900). _Lorna Doone._ GEORGE HENRY BORROW (1803-81). _Lavengro._ _Romany Rye._ In _Everyman’s Library_. CHARLOTTE BRONTË (1816-55). _Jane Eyre._ EMILY BRONTË (1818-48). _Wuthering Heights._ ALICE BROWN. _King’s End._ _Meadow Grass._ _Tiverton Tales._ JOHN BROWN (1810-82). _Rab and His Friends._ In _Everyman’s Library_. THOMAS BULFINCH. _The Age of Chivalry, or Legends of King Arthur._ _The Age of Fable, or Beauties of Mythology._ _Legends of Charlemagne, or Romance of the Middle Ages._ The prose storehouse of Arthurian legend in English is Thomas Mallory’s “Morte d’Arthur,” which is in two volumes in _Everyman’s Library_. But Mallory is not easy reading. The finest versions are those by the poets, Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King,” Matthew Arnold’s “Tristram and Iseult,” Swinburne’s “Tale of Balen.” Modern prose versions suited to young readers are Howard Pyle’s “Story of King Arthur and his Knights,” Sidney Lanier’s “Boy’s King Arthur” and Andrew Lang’s “Book of Romance.” Legends allied to the Arthurian stories are found in Lady Guest’s “Mabinogian,” which appears in one volume in _Everyman’s Library_. See also “The Boy’s Mabinogian,” by Sidney Lanier. The stories of Charlemagne are found in a volume suited for young readers edited by Alfred John Church. Classic mythology in its highest form is, of course, to be found in the Greek and Roman poets, and it permeates English poetry. Prose versions of Greek and Roman tales suited to young readers are to be found in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Wonder Book” and “Tanglewood Tales,” Charles Kingsley’s “The Heroes, or Greek Fairy Tales for My Children,” and “Stories from the Greek Tragedians,” by Alfred John Church.
