Dogs -- Juvenile fiction
“So do I,” said Anne, with a sigh; “but then, Waddlekins, you see Mr.
Hugh and Miss Letty will never be married to each other again, and
we must be willing to bear a little pain inside for the sake of our
friends!”
Then the Mayor of Dogtown and Diana his mistress slept the sleep of
wedding cake, which is heavy with dreams!

Here end the Annals.
Four-Footed Americans and Their Kin
BY MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT
Edited by FRANK M. CHAPMAN. Illustrated by ERNEST SETON-THOMPSON
Cloth. Crown 8vo. $1.50, net
“It deserves commendation for its fascinating style, and for the
fund of information which it contains regarding the familiar and
many unfamiliar animals of this country. It is an ideal book for
children, and doubtless older folk will find in its pages much of
interest.”--_The Dial._
“Books like this are cups of delight to wide-awake and inquisitive
girls and boys. Here is a gossipy history of American quadrupeds,
bright, entertaining, and thoroughly instructive. The text, by Mrs.
Wright, has all the fascination that distinguishes her other outdoor
books.”--_The Independent._
Citizen Bird
_Scenes from Bird-life in Plain English for a Beginner_
BY MABEL O. WRIGHT and DR. ELLIOTT COUES
Profusely illustrated by LOUIS AGASSIZ FUERTES
Cloth. Crown 8vo. $1.50, net
“When two writers of marked ability in both literature and natural
history write to produce a work giving scope to their special
talents, the public has reason to expect a masterpiece of its kind.
In the ‘Citizen Bird,’ by MABEL O. WRIGHT and Dr. ELLIOT COUES, this
expectation is realized--seldom is the plan of a book so admirably
conceived, and in every detail so excellently fulfilled.”--_The Dial._
“There is no other book in existence so well fitted for arousing
and directing the interest that all children feel toward the
birds.”--_Tribune_, Chicago.
Birdcraft
_A Field-Book of Two Hundred Song, Game, and Water Birds_
BY MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT
With eighty full-page plates by _Louis Agassiz Fuertes_
“One of the best books that amateurs in the study of ornithology can
find ... direct, forcible, plain, and pleasing.”--_Chautauquan._
“Of books on birds there are many, all more or less valuable, but
‘Birdcraft,’ by MABEL O. WRIGHT, has peculiar merits that will
endear it to amateur ornithologists.... A large number of excellent
illustrations throw light on the text and help to make a book that
will arouse the delight and win the gratitude of every lover of
birds.”--_Saturday Evening Gazette_, Boston.
