Portrays the solitude and pathos of the life of the mountaineers of Tennessee. In sincerity and the genuineness of the substance better than in workmanship. _Nibelungenlied._ The story of the Treasure of the Nibelungs is told for young readers by A. J. Church in “Heroes of Chivalry and Romance.” It is also found in “Wagner Opera Stories” by G. E. Barber, and in “The Wagner Story Book” by W. H. Frost. Any critical or biographical work on Wagner will take the reader into this great German legend. FRANK NORRIS. _The Octopus._ _The Pit._ A serious novelist cut off in his prime before his work attained the greatness that it seemed to promise. MARGARET OLIPHANT (1828-97). _Chronicles of Carlingford._ _A Beleaguered City._ ALFRED OLLIVANT. _Bob, Son of Battle._ A first-rate story of a dog. THOMAS NELSON PAGE. _Elsket._ _In Ole Virginia._ A sincere and sympathetic portrayer of old and new Virginia. As is generally true of American fictionists, he is better in the short story than in the novel. GILBERT PARKER. _Pierre and His People._ _The Battle of the Strong._ _Seats of the Mighty._ ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS. _Fourteen to One._ _A Singular Life._ EDEN PHILLPOTTS. _Children of the Mist._ _The Human Boy._ _The Secret Woman._ One of the distinguished living novelists of England. EDGAR ALLAN POE (1809-49). _Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque._ There are many single-volume editions of Poe’s short stories. An inexpensive complete edition of Poe is published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons. The best and final edition of Poe is that edited by Stedman and Woodberry. JANE PORTER (1776-1850). _Scottish Chiefs._ HOWARD PYLE. _Some Merry Adventures of Robin Hood._ _The Garden Behind the Moon._ Mr. Pyle’s books are delightful for the illustrations. The competence of his painting and his dramatic and literary imagination make him the foremost American illustrator, and the texts which he writes to accompany his drawings are adequate, though not in themselves remarkable. RUDOLF ERICH RASPE. _Surprising Adventures of Baron Münchausen._ In the translation edited by Thomas Seccombe. A selection of the Münchausen stories for young people made by Dr. Edward Everett Hale, is published by D. C. Heath & Co. CHARLES READE (1814-84). _The Cloister and the Hearth._ _Hard Cash._ _Put Yourself in His Place._ SAMUEL RICHARDSON (1689-1761). _Clarissa Harlowe._ There is an abridged edition of this very long novel. GEORGE SAND (A. L. A. Dupin, 1804-76). _Consuelo._ _The Little Fadette._ _The Devil’s Pool._ _Mauprat._ These and others of George Sand’s novels are in English. WALTER SCOTT (1771-1832). No list of titles is necessary under Scott’s name. ERNEST THOMPSON SETON. _Biography of a Grizzly._
