Boys -- Conduct of life -- Juvenile fiction; New York (N.Y.) -- Juvenile fiction
This Is the life story of a horse; how he was ill treated and well
cared for. The experiences of Black Beauty, Ginger, and Merrylegs are
extremely interesting. Wherever children are, whether boys or girls,
this Autobiography should be. It inculcates habits of kindness to all
members of the animal creation. The literary merit of the book is
excellent.
Mopsa the Fairy. By JEAN INGELOW. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75
cents.
"Mrs. Ingelow is, to our mind, the most charming of all living writers
for children, and 'Mopsa' alone ought to give her a kind of
pre-emptive right to the love and gratitude of our young folks. It
requires genius to conceive a purely imaginary work which must of
necessity deal with the supernatural, without running into a mere riot
of fantastic absurdity; but genius Mrs. Ingelow has, and the story of
'Jack' is as careless and joyous, but as delicate as a picture of
childhood."--Eclectic.
Carrots: Just a Little Boy. By MRS. MOLESWORTH. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, price 75 cents.
"One of the cleverest and most pleasing stories it has been our good
fortune to meet with for some time. Carrots and his sister are
delightful little beings, whom to read about is at once to become very
fond of. A genuine children's book; we've seen 'em seize it, and read
it greedily. Children are first-rate critics, and thoroughly
appreciate Walter Crane's illustrations."--Punch.
Larry's Luck. By the author of "Miss Toosey's Mission." 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, price 75 cents.
"It is believed that this story, by this favorably known author of
'Miss Toosey's Mission,' will be found both highly interesting and
instructive to the young. Whether the readers are nine years old, or
twice as old, they must enjoy this pretty volume."--The Examiner.
A Child's Christmas: A Sketch of Boy Life. By MRS. MOLESWORTH. 12mo,
cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents.
"This is another of those delightful juvenile stories of which this
author has written so many. It is a fascinating little book, with a
charming plot, a sweet, pure atmosphere, and teaches a wholesome moral
in the most winning manner."--Gazette.
Chunk, Fusky and Snout. A Story of Wild Pigs for Little People. By
GERALD YOUNG. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents.

a quiet, healthful way, and with a great deal of pleasantly interfused
information about, wild pigs and their ways. It Is sure to interest
both boys and girls."--Christian Union.
Daddy's Boy. By L. T. MEADE. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents.
"A charming story of child life. Little Sir Rowland is one of the most
fascinating of the misunderstood child heroes of the day. The quaint
doings and imaginings of this gentle, lovable, but highly original
child are introduced by Mrs. Meade, with all her accustomed
pathos."--Guardian.
