Among the Forest People
By CLARA D. PIERSON
Illustrated by F. C. GORDON
12mo, 220 pages, cloth, gilt top $1.25
"A thoroughly charming book for the little people, which grown
folks can read, also, with many a satisfied chuckle at its slily
insinuated 'morals,' and inimitable mingling of human sentiments
and affairs in the wild life of 'the Forest People.' The
illustrations have really artistic value; thoroughly well done,
with a pleasing combination of the conventional in form and
light and shade, they are also clever and accurate in
drawing."--_Living Church._
"A most charming series of stories for children--yes, and for
children of all ages, both young and old--is given us in the
volume before us. No one can read these realistic conversations
of the little creatures of the wood without being most tenderly
drawn toward them, and each story teaches many entertaining
facts regarding the lives and habits of these little people.
Mothers and teachers must welcome this book most cordially. One
cannot speak too strongly in praise of it."--_Boston
Transcript._
"I declare I really feel tempted to adopt or borrow a nice
little girl of six or seven, just for the pleasure of reading
this perfect book to her while she snuggles down in my
lap."--KATE SANBORN.
"The telling is conceived with decided originality."--_Outlook._
"There has not been such a book for many a year, and it makes
the old folks long to be young again."--_N. Y. Observer._
"Is an utterly delightful book for the little folk."--_Interior._
Among the Farmyard People
By CLARA D. PIERSON
Illustrated by F. C. GORDON
12mo, 256 pages, cloth, gilt top, $1.25
"The very pretty stories of animal life, 'Among the Forest
People,' and 'Among the Meadow People,' are continued in Clara
D. Pierson's 'Among the Farmyard People.' To those who know the
earlier volumes, this needs no introduction or praise. To those
who may still have that pleasure in store, we can commend
heartily these tenderly realistic conversations, which show a
sympathetic knowledge at once of animals and of children, who
will be amused and taught and edified by these dainty little
tales that never obtrude the always healthy moral of this
genuine Child's Book of Nature."--_Churchman._
"They will be found valuable for use by mothers and kindergarten
teachers. The beautiful illustrations furnished by F. C. Gordon
are distinctively instructive. Altogether the book is one of the
most desirable works that can be found to train the child's
imagination, affection, and powers of observation."--_Boston
Beacon._
"We heartily recommend the book for its thoroughly healthy tone,
far better adapted to a sweet and simple childhood than much of
the rather stimulating juvenile literature of the day."--_N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser._
