*Down the Snow Stairs*; or, From Good-night to Good-morning. By ALICE
CORKRAN. With Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo, cloth, price 75
cents.
This is a remarkable story: full of vivid fancy and quaint originality.
In its most fantastic imaginings it carries with it a sense of reality,
and derives a singular attraction from that combination of simplicity,
originality, and subtle humor, which is so much appreciated by lively
and thoughtful children. Children of a larger growth will also be deeply
interested in Kitty's strange journey, and her wonderful experiences.
"Among all the Christmas volumes which the year has brought to our
table this one stands out _facile princeps_--a gem of the first water,
bearing upon every one of its pages the signet mark of genius.... All
is told with such simplicity and perfect naturalness that the dream
appears to be a solid reality. It is indeed a Little Pilgrim's
Progress."--_Christian Leader._
*The Tapestry Room*: A Child's Romance. By MRS. MOLESWORTH. Illustrated
by WALTER CRANE. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
"Mrs. Molesworth is a charming painter of the nature and ways of
children; and she has done good service in giving us this charming
juvenile which will delight the young people."--_Athenaeum_, London.
