Dogtown: Being Some Chapters from the Annals of the Waddles Family Set Down in the Language of Housepeople
Wright, Mabel Osgood
Dogs -- Juvenile fiction
“This book is calculated to interest children in nature, and grown
folks, too, will find themselves catching the author’s enthusiasm.
As for Tommy-Anne herself, she is bound to make friends wherever
she is known. The more of such books as these, the better for the
children. One Tommy-Anne is worth a whole shelf of the average juvenile
literature.”--_The Critic._
Wabeno, the Magician
_The Sequel to Tommy-Anne and the Three Hearts_
BY MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT
Fully illustrated by _Joseph M. Gleeson_
Cloth. Crown 8vo. $1.50
“Mrs. Wright’s book teaches her young readers to use their eyes and
ears, but it does more in that it cultivates in them a genuine love for
nature and for every member of the animal kingdom. The best of the book
is that it is never dull.”--_Boston Budget._
The Dream Fox Story Book
BY MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT
With eighty drawings by OLIVER HERFORD
Cloth. Small quarto. $1.50, net
Mrs. Wright’s new book for young people recounts the marvellous
adventures of Billy Benton, his acquaintance with the Dream Fox and the
Night Mare, and what came of it. It differs from the author’s previous
stories, as it is purely imaginative and somewhat similar to “Alice in
Wonderland.”
There are eight full-page illustrations, showing Billy at moments of
greatest interest, and also seventy drawings scattered throughout
the text. These illustrations are by Oliver Herford, who has entered
thoroughly into the spirit of the text, so that the pictures seem an
integral part of the story.

Cloth, 12mo. $2.50, net
“The reader of Mrs. Wright’s handsome volume will wend his way into a
fairy world of loveliness, and find not only serious wildwood lore, but
poetry also, and sentiment and pictures of the pen that will stay with
him through winter days of snow and ice.... A careful and interesting
companion, its many illustrations being particularly useful.”--_New York
Tribune._
“There is no question that this is a book in which you must be examined
before you are fit to pass into the country.”--_New York Sun._
“The illustrations are altogether worthy of the text ... a series of
exquisite pictures of flowers and ferns.”--_London Daily News._
