The Wild West is tamed, and its savage charms have withered. If this book can help to keep their memory alive, it will have done its part. It has found a powerful helper in the pencil of Mr. Remington, whose pictures are as full of truth as of spirit, for they are the work of one who knew the prairies and the mountains before irresistible commonplace had subdued them.--_Preface to the Illustrated Edition._ PLUMMER, M.W. Roy and Ray in Canada. Holt. 1.75 "This companion volume to Roy and Ray in Mexico embodies much that is interesting concerning Canadian history, manners, and customs.... The book will be useful as a travel guide, but it is primarily intended to cover a hitherto neglected field for children." Illustrated from photographs, with map, and words and music of Canadian national songs. Our old friends Roy and Ray enjoyed their trip through Eastern (p. 181) Canada, and so will the boys and girls who join them on their travels. STARR, FREDERICK. American Indians. Heath. .45 Mr. Starr, an acknowledged authority, tells us of many different Indian tribes; their language, customs, picture-writing, dances, and ceremonies. The author has himself had acquaintance with some thirty tribes. The book is very fully and satisfactorily illustrated. MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck, You do their work, and they shall have good luck. SHAKSPERE. KIPLING, RUDYARD. Puck of Pook's Hill. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Doubleday. 1.50 To Dan and Una, sitting, on Midsummer's Eve, in the old fairy ring, appears Puck. By his magic power on this and succeeding visits incidents based on events in Old England's history are told to the children by those who shared in them. A series of remarkable stories, alternating with even more remarkable poems. The average child will better enjoy hearing them read aloud, as they presuppose a fuller (p. 182) knowledge of English history than most American children are likely to possess. Mr. Rackham's pictures in color are fine work.
