Longmans. 2.00 This, the third of the colored fairy books, contains, as do the others, tales from many sources, among them The Half-Chick, The Magic Swan, and King Kojata. PYLE, HOWARD. The Story of King Arthur and His Knights. Illustrated by the Author. Scribner. 2.50 Mr. Pyle has related these great legends right worthily.

Blow trumpet, for the world is white with May; Blow trumpet, the long night hath roll'd away! Blow thro' the living world--"Let the King reign." "Shall Rome or Heathen rule in Arthur's realm? Flash brand and lance, fall battleaxe upon helm, Fall battleaxe, and flash brand! Let the King reign." TENNYSON. RUSKIN, JOHN. (p. 103) The King of the Golden River. Heath. .20 An exquisite legend, beautiful in spirit and language. There have been written in our English language a few tales bearing a rich moral lesson that are an unfailing source of delight, alike to childhood and to youth, and that are at the same time not without interest to the adult. The King of the Golden River is one of these.... Its lessons are not obtruded; the reader is really not explicitly conscious of them at all.--_Introduction._ STOCKTON, F.R. Fanciful Tales. Scribner. .50 Mr. Stockton had a wise, humorous style of his own. In this small volume, which contains some of his best writing for children, will be found Old Pipes and the Dryad, The Bee-Man of Orn, and The Clocks of Rondaine. STORIES FROM THE ARABIAN NIGHTS. Houghton. .60 From centuries and peoples almost as different from those we know as the North and the South Poles are far apart, through the overthrows of dynasties and the movements of whole races of men, by the work of Arabian scholars when printing was unknown, and by the labors of Europeans almost in our own day, these stories have survived to transport us into a world of splendor and magic.--_Introduction._ A carefully edited selection of thirteen of these famous tales, with which, of course, every child should be familiar.
