The Bee-Man of Orn and Other Fanciful Tales
Stockton, Frank R.
Fairy tales
With sixteen full-page illustrations by R.B. Birch.
One volume, 12mo, extra cloth. $1.50.
In "The Story of Viteau," Mr. Stockton has opened a new vein, and one
that he has shown all his well-known skill and ability in working.
While describing the life and surroundings of Raymond, Louis, and
Agnes at Viteau at the Castle of De Barran, or in the woods among the
Cotereaux, he gives a picture of France in the age of chivalry, and
tells, at the same time, a romantic and absorbing story of adventure
and knightly daring. Mr. Birch's spirited illustrations add much to
the attraction of the book.
A JOLLY FELLOWSHIP.
Illustrated. One volume, 12mo, extra cloth. $1.50.
"'A Jolly Fellowship,' by Mr. Frank Stockton, is a worthy successor
to his 'Rudder Grange.' Although written for lads, it is full of
delicious nonsense that will be enjoyed by men and women.... The less
serious parts are described with a mock gravity that is the
perfection of harmless burlesque, while all the nonsense has a vein
of good sense running through it, so that really useful information
is conveyed to the young and untravelled reader's mind."--Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin.
THE FLOATING PRINCE, AND OTHER FAIRY TALES.
With illustrations by Bensell and others. One volume, quarto, boards.
$1.50.
"Stockton has the knack, perhaps genius would be a better word, of
writing in the easiest of colloquial English, without descending to
the plane of the vulgar or commonplace. The very perfection of his
work hinders the reader from perceiving at once how good of its kind
it is.... With the added charm of a most delicate humor,--a real
humor, mellow, tender, and informed by a singularly quaint and racy
fancy,--his stories become irresistibly attractive."--Philadelphia
Times.
