ÆSOP'S FABLES.
There are many good editions published by the various schoolbook
houses. That edited by J. H. Stickney and published by Ginn &
Co. is as good as any, and contains also a supplement with
fables from La Fontaine and Krilof.
A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES, by _Robert Louis Stevenson_.
The edition illustrated by E. Mars and H. M. Squire and
published by Rand, McNally & Co. is excellent. Jessie Wilcox
Smith illustrates an edition for Charles Scribner's Sons.
LULLABY LAND, by _Eugene Field_.
This is published in beautiful form by Charles Scribner's Sons.
FAIRY TALES, by _Hans Christian Andersen_.
The schoolbook houses publish selections in an attractive form;
Blackie and Son, London, a cheap edition.
FAIRY TALES, by _Wilhelm_ and _Jakob Grimm_.
Selections, such as those edited by Sarah E. Wiltse for Ginn &
Co., are better than the complete editions, for many of the
Grimm tales are coarse and valueless.
BLUE FAIRY BOOK and GREEN FAIRY BOOK, by _Andrew Lang_.
Besides some of the Grimm tales these books contain folklore
stories from many nations. Lang has edited other books in this
series, but two are probably enough.
THE ADVENTURES OF A BROWNIE, by _Dinah Maria (Mulock) Craik_.
This is a charming little tale, much loved by children.
PINOCCHIO, by _C. Collodi_.
Walter Cramp's translation of this little Italian classic will
be highly appreciated. Ginn and Company.
OLD GREEK STORIES, by _James Baldwin_.
American Book Company. This contains the stories of Arachne, the
Gorgon's Head, Prometheus and Theseus.
LETTERS FROM A CAT, by _Helen Hunt Jackson_.
Amusing letters which a cat writes to its mistress. Helpful in
teaching kindness to animals.
THE BOOK OF JOYOUS CHILDREN, by _James Whitcomb Riley_.
Charles Scribner's Sons; _Child Rhymes_, Bobbs-Merrill Co.;
_Child World_, Bobbs-Merrill Co. Three books with delightful
poems for children and about them.
_Volume II_
While the books mentioned in these lists seem most closely connected to
the volume to which they are ascribed, yet no hard and fast lines can be
drawn. Children will read in the second volume of this set before they
have finished the first, and the books in the lists are suitable
whenever interest is ripe in the kind of literature which the books
contain. Several of the titles given in the list for the first volume
should be considered with the second volume.
WONDER BOOK FOR BOYS AND GIRLS, by _Nathaniel Hawthorne_.
This contains many other stories than those given in these
volumes.
TANGLEWOOD TALES, by _Nathaniel Hawthorne_.
A second wonder book of classic myths. Houghton, Mifflin Co. are
the authorized publishers of the wonder books.
