THE LOVES OF ROSE PINK AND SKY BLUE, AND OTHER STORIES TOLD TO CHILDREN.
By WILLIAM FRANCIS COLLIER, LL.D.,
Author of 'Tales of Old English Life,' etc. etc.
Profusely Illustrated with Original humorous Illustrations on Wood.
'It is a clever book by a clever man. There is a mind in every page, and
the illustrations show that the artist appreciates the humour of the
author.'--_Daily News._
'A fanciful and eccentric title for some very good fairy tales told to
the little ones.'--_The Times._
'The prose and verse stories in this very handsome volume are of a
healthy kind, and well calculated to compass the object for which they
have been written, namely, the amusement of our young folk.'--_The
Examiner._
'"The Loves of Rose Pink and Sky Blue, and other Stories told to
Children," by Dr. W. F. Collier, is one of the most pleasant
contributions to this season's literature which comes from the far
north. It is genial in its purpose, pleasant in its details, and natural
in its composition.'--_Bell's Messenger._
'"Rose Pink and Sky Blue" is a child's book, very funny in its
illustrations--this we see--and funny, we suspect, in its contents; for
we lighted on a ballad in which a most scientific piscator, standing on
the Norway coast, casts his fly for whale and hooks and lands several
which he rose on the Faroe Isles, and is at last beaten by a Kraken or
the Kraken.'--_Saturday Review._
Second Edition, enlarged, price 3s., richly bound,
STORY OF THE KINGS OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL.
WRITTEN FOR CHILDREN.
By A. O. B.
Illustrated with Full-page Engravings and Map.
'We have been much pleased with the "Story of the Kings of Judah," which
will prove a real boon to children, who so often are compelled to puzzle
their little brains over the history of the Kings of Judah and Israel,
with the vaguest possible idea of what it all means. This little work
gives the best and clearest account we have ever seen, as adapted to the
comprehension of children; and the author is evidently one who has been
accustomed to the training of young minds, and knows how to meet their
difficulties.'--_Churchman's Companion._
