Boats and boating -- Juvenile fiction; Sea stories
This is a charming little story of a child whose father was caretaker of
the great castle of the Wartburg, where Saint Elizabeth once had her
home, with a fairy-tale interwoven, in which the roses and the ivy in the
castle yard tell to the child and her playmate quaint old legends of the
saint and the castle.
Gabriel and the Hour Book. By Evaleen Stein.
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated in colors by
Adelaide Everhart $1.00
Gabriel was a loving, patient, little French lad, who assisted the monks
in the long ago days, when all the books were written and illuminated by
hand, in the monasteries. It is a dear little story, and will appeal to
every child who is fortunate enough to read it.
The Enchanted Automobile. Translated from the French by Mary J.
Safford.
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated in colors by
Edna M. Sawyer $1.00
The enchanted automobile was sent by the fairy godmother of a lazy,
discontented little prince and princess to take them to fairyland, where
they might visit their old story-book favorites.
Here they find that Sleeping Beauty has become a famously busy queen;
Princess Charming keeps a jewelry shop; where she sells the jewels that
drop from her lips; Hop-o’-My-Thumb is a farmer, too busy even to see the
children, and Little Red Riding Hood has trained the wolf into a trick
animal, who performs in the city squares.
They learn the lesson that happy people are the busy people, and they
return home cured of their discontent and laziness.
Beautiful Joe’s Paradise; or, The Island of Brotherly Love. A sequel to
“Beautiful Joe.” By Marshall Saunders, author of “Beautiful
Joe,” “For His Country,” etc. With fifteen full-page plates and
many decorations from drawings by Charles Livingston Bull.
One vol., library 12mo, cloth decorative $1.50
“Will be immensely enjoyed by the boys and girls who read it.”—_Pittsburg
Gazette_.
“Miss Saunders has put life, humor, action, and tenderness into her
story. The book deserves to be a favorite.”—_Chicago Record-Herald_.
“This book revives the spirit of ‘Beautiful Joe’ capitally. It is fairly
riotous with fun, and as a whole is about as unusual as anything in the
animal book line that has seen the light. It is a book for juveniles—old
and young.”—_Philadelphia Item_.

“No more amusing and attractive child’s story has appeared for a long

pitiful and charming little runaway.
