=A NEW BOOK BY MRS. BURNETT=
------------------
A LITTLE PRINCESS
Being the Whole Story of Sara Crewe now told for the First Time.
Handsomely illustrated in colors by ETHEL FRANKLIN BETTS. Royal 8vo,
$2.00.
Miss Betts's illustrations, title-page and cover-design, will give great
distinction and beauty to this story by Mrs. Burnett, and will make "A
Little Princess" the leading holiday-book of the season for young
readers. The last paragraph of Mrs. Burnett's preface explains the
origin and scope of her new book: "After the play of 'A Little Princess'
was produced in New York, and so many children went to see it and liked
Becky and Lottie and Melchisidec, my publishers asked me if I could not
write Sara's story over again and put into it all the things and people
who had been left out before, and so I have done it, and when I began I
found there were actually pages and pages of things which had happened
that had never been put even into the play, so in this new 'Little
Princess' I have put in all that I have been able to discover."

=W. A. FRASER'S ANIMAL STORIES=
------------------
=SA-ZADA TALES=
Illustrated by ARTHUR HEMING. 12mo, $1.50 _net_ (postage extra).
Since Mr. Fraser wrote his Mooswa Tales no such good stories of animals
have been published as in this new book. The tales of life and adventure
that the Tiger, the Panther, the Elephant, the Birds, and other Animals
tell each other arouse a vivid and absorbing interest in the mind of
either child or grown-up and make them unforgetable. The forty-eight
full-page illustrations by Mr. Heming, whose pictures have placed him at
the head of illustrators of his class, will make this a sumptuous and
extraordinarily attractive book.
