=FAIRY TALES OF ALL NATIONS—By Logan Marshall.= The most beautiful book
of fairy tales ever published. Thirty superb colored plates are the
most prominent feature of this new copyrighted book. These plates are
absolutely new and portray the times and customs of the subject they
illustrate. The subjects were posed in costumes of the nation and time
in which each story is set, and are unrivaled in rich color, lively
drawing and dramatic interest. The text is original and interesting in
that the famous fairy tales are taken from the folk-lore and literature
of a dozen principal countries, thus giving the book its name. Many old
favorites and numerous interesting stories from far-away lands, which
most children have never heard, are brought together in this charming
book. 8vo. Over 300 pages.

=TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE—By Charles and Mary Lamb.= A superb edition
of these familiar tales has been prepared in similar style to “Fairy
Tales of All Nations.” Each of the twenty tales is illustrated with a
magnificent color plate by a celebrated German artist. It is one of the
finest gift books ever published for children, telling them in simple
language, which is as nearly like that of Shakespeare as possible, the
stories of the great plays. The subjects for the illustrations were
posed in costumes of the nation and time in which each story is set and
are unrivaled in rich color, lively drawing and dramatic interest. 320
pages. 20 full-page color plates.
