THE INTERNATIONAL STUDIO =John Lane=, 140 Fifth Avenue, _New York_
Scribner's New Books for the Young
=Mrs. Burnett's
famous
Juveniles=
=With all the original
Illustrations by Reginald B. Birch.
5 vols. Each 12mo $1.25.=
A writer in the _Boston Post_ has said of Mrs. Burnett: "She has a
beauty of imagination and a spiritual insight into the meditations of
childhood which are within the grasp of no other writer for
children,"--and these five volumes would indeed be difficult to match in
child literature. The new edition is from new plates, with all the
original illustrations by Reginald B. Birch, is bound in a handsome new
cover. "Little Lord Fauntleroy," "Two Little Pilgrims' Progress,"
"Piccino and Other Child Stories," "Giovanni and the Other," "Sara
Crewe," and "Little Saint Elizabeth and other Stories" (in one volume).
=Three New
Volumes by
G. A. Henty=
=Illustrated by Walter
Paget and W. A. Margetson.
Each 12mo $1.50=.
It would be a bitter year for the boys if Mr. Henty were to fail them
with a fresh assortment of his enthralling tales of adventure, for, as
the London _Academy_ has said, in this kind of story telling, "he stands
in the very first rank." "With Frederick the Great" is a tale of the
Seven Years' War, and has twelve full-page illustrations by Wal. Paget;
"A March on London" details some stirring scenes of the times when Wat
Tyler's motley crew took possession of that city, and the illustrations
are drawn by W. A. Margetson, while Wal. Paget has supplied the pictures
for "With Moore at Corunna," in which the boy hero serves through the
Peninsular War. (Each 12mo, $1.50.)
=Will Shakespeare's
Little Lad
by Imogen Clarke=
=With 8 full-page Illustrations
by Reginald B. Birch.
12mo $1.50.=
"The author has caught the true spirit of Shakespeare's time, and paints
his home surroundings with a loving, tender grace," says the Boston
_Herald_.
=An Old-Field School Girl by Marion Harland=
(Illustrated, 12mo, $1.25.) "As pretty a story for girls as has been
published in a long time," says the _Buffalo Express_, and the _Chicago
Tribune_ is even more appreciative: "Compared with the average books of
its class 'An Old-Field School Girl,' becomes a classic."
=Lullaby Land=
=Verses by Eugene Field
With 200 fanciful
Illustrations by Charles Robinson.
(Uniform with Stevenson's
"A Child's Garden") 12mo $1.50.=
