A delightfully told story of a summer trip through Scotland, somewhat
out of the beaten track. A teacher, starting at Glasgow, takes a lively
party of girls, her pupils, through the Trossachs to Oban, through the
Caledonian Canal to Inverness, and as far north as Brora.
=King Pippin:= A STORY FOR CHILDREN. By MRS. GERARD FORD.
Author of "Pixie."
One of the most charming books for young folks which has been issued
for some time. The hero is a lovable little fellow, whose frank and
winning ways disarm even the crustiest of grandmothers, and win for him
the affection of all manner of unlikely people.
=Feats on the Fiord:= A TALE OF NORWEGIAN LIFE. By HARRIET MARTINEAU.
This admirable book, read and enjoyed by so many young people, deserves
to be brought to the attention of parents in search of wholesome
reading for their children to-day. It is something more than a juvenile
book, being really one of the most instructive books about Norway and
Norwegian life and manners ever written.
=Songs and Rhymes for the Little Ones.= Compiled by MARY WHITNEY
MORRISON (Jenny Wallis).
New edition, with an introduction by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney.
No better description of this admirable book can be given than Mrs.
Whitney's happy introduction:
"One might almost as well offer June roses with the assurance of
their sweetness, as to present this lovely little gathering of verse,
which announces itself, like them, by its own deliciousness. Yet, as
Mrs. Morrison's charming volume has long been a delight to me, I am
only too happy to declare that it is to me--and to two families of my
grandchildren--the most bewitching book of songs for little people that
we have ever known."
=The Young Pearl Divers:= A STORY OF AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE BY LAND AND
BY SEA. By LIEUT. H. PHELPS WHITMARSH.
This is a splendid story for boys, by an author who writes in vigorous
and interesting language, of scenes and adventures with which he is
personally acquainted.
=The Woodranger.= By G. WALDO BROWNE.
The first of a series of five volumes entitled "The Woodranger Tales."
Although based strictly on historical facts the book is an interesting
and exciting tale of adventure, which will delight all boys, and be by
no means unwelcome to their elders.
=Three Children of Galilee:= A LIFE OF CHRIST FOR THE YOUNG. By JOHN
GORDON.
There has long been a need for a Life of Christ for the young, and this
book has been written in answer to this demand. That it will meet with
great favor is beyond question, for parents have recognized that their
boys and girls want something more than a Bible story, a dry statement
of facts, and that, in order to hold the attention of the youthful
readers, a book on this subject should have life and movement as well
as scrupulous accuracy and religious sentiment.
=Little Bermuda.= By MARIA LOUISE POOL.
Author of "Dally," "A Redbridge Neighborhood," "In a Dike Shanty,"
"Friendship and Folly," etc.
