Giannetta: A Girl’s Story of Herself. By Rosa Mulholland. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, price $1.00.
“Extremely well told and full of interest. Giannetta is a true
heroine—warm-hearted, self-sacrificing, and, as all good women
nowadays are, largely touched with enthusiasm of humanity. The
illustrations are unusually good. One of the most attractive
gift books of the season.”—The Academy.
Margery Merton’s Girlhood. By Alice Corkran. 12mo, cloth, illustrated,
price $1.00.
“The experiences of an orphan girl who in infancy is left by
her father to the care of an elderly aunt residing near Paris.
The accounts of the various persons who have an after
influence on the story are singularly vivid. There is a subtle
attraction about the book which will make it a great favorite
with thoughtful girls.”—Saturday Review.
Under False Colors: A Story from Two Girls’ Lives, By Sarah Doudney.
12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
“Sarah Doudney has no superior as a writer of high-toned
stories—pure in style, original in conception, and with
skillfully wrought out plots; but we have seen nothing equal
in dramatic energy to this book.”—Christian Leader.
Down the Snow Stairs; or, From Good-night to Good-morning. By Alice
Corkran. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents.
“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. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, 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.”—Athenæum, London.
Little Miss Peggy: Only a Nursery Story. By Mrs. Molesworth. 12mo,
cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents.
Mrs. Molesworth’s children are finished studies. A joyous
earnest spirit pervades her work, and her sympathy is
unbounded. She loves them with her whole heart, while she lays
bare their little minds, and expresses their foibles, their
faults, their virtues, their inward struggles, their
conception of duty, and their instinctive knowledge of the
right and wrong of things. She knows their characters, she
understands their wants, and she desires to help them.
Polly: A New Fashioned Girl. By L. T. Meade. 12mo, cloth, illustrated,
price $1.00.
