It will be seen that the Mythology adopted throughout is strictly of the old-fashioned kind which goes to Ovid as its leading authority, and ignores the difference between the gods of Greece and the gods of Rome.--_Preface._ This small volume is included because it gives quite fully the Labors of Hercules. FRERE, MARY. Old Deccan Days. McDonough. 1.25 Hindoo fairy legends of Southern India, recorded by Miss Frere in 1865-1866, as they were related to her by her Indian _ayah_ during a tour through the Southern Mahratta country, in the Bombay Presidency, of which Sir Bartle Frere, her father, was then Governor. GRIMM, J.L. and W.K. Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. Translated by Mrs. Edgar Lucas. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Lippincott. 1.50 Barring a few horrible incidents, this is an excellent selection of these famous stories. Mr. Rackham's illustrations help to place the edition above many others. GRIMM, J.L. and W.K. (p. 79) German Household Tales. Houghton. .60 With very few exceptions, an unusually wise choice of the Tales. Grimm was the name of two German brothers.... Their studies they carried on together, though Jacob was the more learned, and made great contributions to the science of language, while Wilhelm was more artistic in his tastes and was a capital story-teller.... They lived in the province of Hesse-Cassel, ... and it was from the peasants in this province that they derived a great many tales. The best friend they had was the wife of a cowherd, a woman of about fifty, who had a genius for story-telling. H.E. SCUDDER. HAWTHORNE, NATHANIEL. A Wonder Book. Illustrated by Walter Crane. Houghton. 3.00 No epoch of time can claim a copyright in these immortal fables. They seem never to have been made; and certainly, so long as man exists, they can never perish.--_Preface._ Hawthorne wrote comparatively little for children. Let us be thankful that he did retell with such charm these Greek myths. The full-page pictures in color are worthy of the stories, which comprise The Gorgon's Head, The Golden Touch, The Paradise of Children, The Three Golden Apples, The Miraculous Pitcher, and The Chimæra. HOLBROOK, FLORENCE. Northland Heroes. Houghton. .60 For centuries the songs of Homer ... have delighted the (p. 80) children, young and old, of many lands. But part of our own heritage, and nearer to us in race and time, are these stories of the Danish Beowulf and the Swedish Fridthjof.--_Preface._ These simple versions of saga and epic recount for our children the bravery and endurance of a ruder age.
