The Heroes of Asgard: Tales from Scandinavian Mythology
Keary, Annie
Mythology, Norse -- Juvenile literature
Nine essays on culture considered in its broadest sense. The title is
justified not so much from the point of view of giving many details
for self-culture, as of giving an impulse to practice.
BONSAL. THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE. Extracts from the letters of
Captain H. L. Herndon of the 21st U. S. Infantry, on duty in the
Philippine Islands, and Lieutenant Lawrence Gill, A.D.C. to the
Military Governor of Puerto Rico. With a postscript by J. Sherman,
Private, Co. D, 21st Infantry. Edited by Stephen Bonsal. 12mo. xi +
316 pages.
These letters throw much light on our recent history. The story of
our "Expansion" is well told, and the problems which are its
outgrowth are treated with clearness and insight.

The history of self-governing clubs, with directions for their
organization and management. The author has had many years'
experience as organizer and adviser of self-governing clubs in New
York City and the vicinity.

pages.
CHURCH. THE STORY OF THE ODYSSEY. By Rev. A. J. Church. vii + 306
pages.
The two great epics are retold in prose by one of the best of
story-tellers. The Greek atmosphere is remarkably well preserved.
CRADDOCK. THE STORY OF OLD FORT LOUDON. By Charles Egbert
Craddock. 12mo. Illustrated. v + 409 pages.
A story of pioneer life in Tennessee at the time of the Cherokee
uprising in 1760. The frontier fort serves as a background to this
picture of Indian craft and guile and pioneer pleasures and
hardships.
CROCKETT. RED CAP TALES. By S. R. Crockett. 8vo. Illustrated. xii
+ 413 pages.
The volume consists of a number of tales told in succession from four
of Scott's novels--"Waverley," "Guy Mannering," "Rob Roy," and "The
Antiquary"; with a break here and there while the children to whom
they are told discuss the story just told from their own point of
view. No better introduction to Scott's novels could be imagined or
contrived. Half a dozen or more tales are given from each book.
DIX. A LITTLE CAPTIVE LAD. By Beulah Marie Dix. 12mo.
Illustrated. vii + 286 pages.
The story is laid in the time of Cromwell, and the captive lad is a
cavalier, full of the pride of his caste. The plot develops around
the child's relations to his Puritan relatives. It is a well-told
story, with plenty of action, and is a faithful picture of the times.
EGGLESTON. SOUTHERN SOLDIER STORIES. By George Cary Eggleston.
12mo. Illustrated. xi + 251 pages.
