and things are wonderfully true to nature.”—_Boston Times._
In the Desert of Waiting: The Legend of Camelback Mountain.
The Three Weavers: A Fairy Tale for Fathers and Mothers as Well as for
Their Daughters. By Annie Fellows Johnston.
Each one volume, tall 16mo, cloth decorative $0.60
There has been a constant demand for publication in separate form of
these two stories, which were originally included in two of the “Little
Colonel” books, and the present editions, which are very charmingly
gotten up, will be delightful and valued gift-books for both old and
young.
“‘The Three Weavers’ is the daintiest fairy-story I ever read,” wrote one
critic, and the _Louisville Post_ calls “In the Desert of Waiting” a
“gem, an exquisite bit of work. Mrs. Johnston is at her best in this web
of delicate fancy, woven about the deep centre truth.” Those who have
read the stories as they originally appeared will be glad to find them
published individually.
