THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, by _Johann Rudolph Wyss_.
Though not of such literary merit as _Robinson Crusoe_, it is
similar in plot and usually more popular. Ginn & Co. publish a
good, cheap edition, edited by J. H. Stickney.
ARABIAN NIGHTS' ENTERTAINMENT.
The complete editions are not suitable for children to read, but
the edition edited by Andrew Lang is excellent. Several
schoolbook houses publish good selections, including the most
popular tales.
Besides the books mentioned in the lists for Volumes I and II, the
following might be suggested here:
THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS of _John Greenleaf Whittier_.
Houghton, Mifflin Company's Cambridge edition is perhaps the
best. Whittier did not write as much for children as Longfellow
did, but his _Snow-Bound_ is a classic that every child will
love if he is helped a little in reading it. Other poems will
appeal to the older members of the family.
THE BOOK OF LEGENDS TOLD OVER AGAIN, by _Horace E. Scudder_.
Houghton, Mifflin Co. _The Flying Dutchman_, _St. Christopher_,
_William Tell_, and _The Wandering Jew_ are some of the names.
THE ADVENTURES OF ULYSSES, by _Charles Lamb_.
D. C. Heath & Co.
