France -- History -- Louis IX, 1226-1270 -- Juvenile fiction
Mr. Pyle's new book is similar in scope, style, scheme of illustrations,
etc., to his "Story of King Arthur and His Knights," which had a great
success two years ago. It deals with the adventures of Launcelot,
Tristram, Percival, and the other chiefs of the various groups in King
Arthur's court in a manner at once spirited and poetic. As in the
earlier volume, the illustrations, both the full pages and the
decorative embellishments, with the author's cover-design and
title-page, lift the book into the class of holiday art works.

A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES
By ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
With 12 full-page illustrations and ornamental cover in colors. By
JESSIE WILLCOX SMITH. Royal 8vo, $2.50.
This is the most important work which Miss Smith has ever accomplished,
a work which she has long been anxious to do and into which she has put
the highest expression of her great and charming talent for drawing
children. There are twelve pages in color, and a colored title-page and
cover, and innumerable pen and ink drawings. No more perfect and
individual interpretation of Stevenson's inimitable verses could be
imagined.
POEMS OF CHILDHOOD
By EUGENE FIELD
With 8 full-page illustrations and ornamental cover in colors. By
MAXFIELD PARRISH. Royal 8vo, $2.50.
"His poems of childhood have gone home, not only to the hearts of
children, but to the heart of the country as well, and he is one of the
few contributors to that genuine literature of childhood which expresses
ideas from the standpoint of a child."—_The Outlook._

"Here are the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fishes of
the deep, described in clear, simple language, with no ambiguity, and
pictured in many cases by photographs from life, in others by drawings
of well-known animal painters. We suspect that Mr. Hornaday's book will
be the popular natural history for a long time to come."—_New York Sun._
