Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)
English fiction -- 19th century
Also 25 copies on hand-made paper. _21s._
This book will appeal to a wide public. Few languages are richer in
serious verse than the English, and the Editor has had some
difficulty in confining his material within his limits.

Few living writers have been more loving students of fairy and folk
lore than Mr. Baring Gould, who in this book returns to the field in
which he won his spurs. This volume consists of the old stories
which have been dear to generations of children, and they are fully
illustrated by Mr. Gaskin, whose exquisite designs for Andersen’s
Tales won him last year an enviable reputation.

A collection of old nursery songs and rhymes, including a number which

the Birmingham students under the superintendence of Mr. Gaskin, and
Mr. Baring Gould has added numerous notes.

A collection of the best verse inspired by the birth of Christ from
the Middle Ages to the present day. Mr. Walter Crane has designed
some beautiful illustrations. A distinction of the book is the large
number of poems it contains by modern authors, a few of which are
here printed for the first time..
=Jane Barlow.= THE BATTLE OF THE FROGS AND MICE, translated by JANE
BARLOW, Author of ‘Irish Idylls’ and pictured by F. D. BEDFORD.
_Small 4to. 6s. net._
Also 50 copies on hand-made paper. _4to. 21s. net._
This is a new version of a famous old fable. Miss Barlow, whose
brilliant volume of ‘Irish Idylls’ has gained her a wide reputation,
has told the story in spirited flowing verse, and Mr. Bedford’s
numerous illustrations and ornaments are as spirited as the verse
they picture. The book will be one of the most beautiful and
original books possible.
