The Bee-Man of Orn and Other Fanciful Tales
Stockton, Frank R.
Fairy tales
In the "Boy's Library of Pluck and Action," the design was to bring
together the representative and most popular books of four of the
best known writers for young people. The names of Mary Mapes Dodge,
Frank R. Stockton, Noah Brooks, and Rossiter Johnson are familiar
ones in every household, and a set of books, to which each has
contributed one, forms a present that will delight the heart of every
boy who likes manly, spirited, and amusing tales. The volumes are
beautifully illustrated and uniformly bound in a most attractive
form.

THE STORY OF SIEGFRIED.
By JAMES BALDWIN.
With a series of superb illustrations by Howard Pyle. One volume,
square 12mo. $2.00.
Mr. Baldwin has at last given "The Story of Siegfried" in the way in
which it most appeals to the boy-reader,--simply and strongly told,
with all its fire and action, yet without losing any of that strange
charm of the myth, and that heroic pathos, which every previous
attempt at a version, even for adult readers, has failed to catch.
THE STORY OF ROLAND.
By JAMES BALDWIN.
With a series of illustrations by R.B. Birch. One volume, square
12mo. $2.00.
This volume is intended as a companion to "The Story of Siegfried."
As Siegfried was an adaptation of Northern myths and romances to the
wants and the understanding of young readers, so is this story a
similar adaptation of the middle-age romances relating to Charlemagne
and his paladins. As Siegfried was the greatest of the heroes of the
North, so, too, was Roland the most famous among the knights of the
Middle Ages.
"We congratulate the boys of the land upon the appearance of this
book. We commend it to parents who are selecting literature for their
children, assured, as we are, that it will convince them that books
may be found which will engage the attention, and stimulate the
imagination, of the young, without dissipating the mind, or blunting
the moral sensibilities."--Philadelphia Messenger.

THE AMERICAN BOY'S HANDY BOOK;
Or, WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT.
By DANIEL C. BEARD.
With three hundred illustrations by the author. One volume, 8vo.
$2.00.
Mr. Beard's book is the first to tell the active, inventive, and
practical American boy the things he really wants to know, the
thousand things he wants to do, and the ten thousand ways in which he
can do them, with the helps and ingenious contrivances which every
boy can either procure or make.
The author divides the book among the sports of the four seasons; and
he has made an almost exhaustive collection of the cleverest modern
devices, besides himself inventing an immense number of capital and
practical ideas.
