By ALBERTA BANCROFT. With Illustrations by Louis Betts. 12mo. $1.25
There are few healthy-minded folk, whatever their time of life, who will
not confess to a fondness for fairy tales of the right sort. "Royal
Rogues" has that quality which makes a children’s book win the hearts of
grown-ups. The heroes are merry twin rogues, king’s sons of course, but
with a strain of fairy blood in their veins. Wildly strange and
delightful are their explorations in the realms of fairyland.
"A charming story ... must be accounted one of the prettiest and
cleverest of modern fairy stories."—_Worcester Spy_.

"The yarn he spins of that and other trips in search of oil is one of
the best I ever read. It is indeed a thrilling, exciting, dangerous
story of the sea, a tale of personal experience put into book form by as
brave a sailor as ever chased whales, and it is full of that local color
which makes a fellow’s blood tingle as he turns the pages. The
illustrations are excellent."—HENRY HAYNIE in _The Boston Times_.
