“It is a story to linger over in the reading, it is so brightly,
frankly, sweetly, and tenderly written, and to remember and return to.
In creating her little gentlewoman, ‘Sara Crewe,’ so fresh, so simple,
so natural, so genuine, and so indomitable, Mrs. Burnett has added
another child to English fiction.”--R. H. STODDARD.

“The history of Piccino’s ‘two days’ is as delicate as one of the

Mediterranean.... The other stories in the book have the charm of their
predecessor in material and matter....”--Mrs. BURTON HARRISON.

BOOKS BY HOWARD PYLE
_A NEW BOOK JUST PUBLISHED_
=BEHIND THE GARDEN OF THE MOON.= A REAL STORY OF THE MOON ANGEL. Written
and illustrated by HOWARD PYLE. Square 12mo, $2.00.
Underneath the charm of this original and delightful fairy tale of Mr.
Pyle’s is a mystical moral significance which gives it the dignity of
true literature in addition to its interest of adventure. Out of the
truth that great deeds are achieved and high character moulded by entire
spiritual consecration, rather than by direct and interested effort, the
author has evolved a winning and delightful piece of fanciful fiction,
and has illustrated it copiously in his happiest and most
characteristically poetical vein.
=THE MERRY ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD= OF GREAT RENOWN IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.
With many illustrations. Royal 8vo, $3.00.
“This superb book is unquestionably the most original and elaborate ever
produced by any American artist. Mr. Pyle has told, with pencil and pen,
the complete and consecutive story of Robin Hood and his merry men in
their haunts in Sherwood Forest, gathered from the old ballads and
legends. Mr. Pyle’s admirable illustrations are strewn profusely through
the book.”--_Boston Transcript._
=OTTO OF THE SILVER HAND.= With many illustrations. Royal 8vo, half
leather, $2.00.
“The scene of the story is mediæval Germany in the time of the feuds and
robber barons and romance. The kidnapping of Otto, his adventures among
rough soldiers, and his daring rescue, make up a spirited and thrilling
story. The drawings are in keeping with the text, and in mechanical and
artistic qualities as well as in literary execution the book must be
greeted as one of the very best juveniles of the year, quite worthy to
succeed to the remarkable popularity of Mr. Pyle’s ‘Robin
Hood.’”--_Christian Union._
