vol., large 12mo, cloth decorative . . . $1.50

Asa Holmes; or, at the Cross-Roads, a sketch of Country Life and
Country Humor. By Annie Fellows Johnston. With a frontispiece by
Ernest Fosbery.
Large 16mo, cloth, gilt top . . . $1.00
“‘Asa Holmes; or, At the Cross-Roads’ is the most delightful, most
sympathetic and wholesome book that has been published in a long
while. The lovable, cheerful, touching incidents, the descriptions
of persons 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.
Little Lady Marjorie. By Frances Margaret Fox, author of “Farmer
Brown and the Birds,” etc.

A charming story for children between the ages of ten and fifteen
years, with both heart and nature interest.

illustrations by Ada Clendenin Williamson.
One vol., large 12mo, decorative cover . . . $1.50
“An amusing, original book, written for the benefit of children not
more than six years old, is ‘The Sandman: His Farm Stories.’ It
should be one of the most popular of the year’s books for reading to
small children.”—_Buffalo Express_.
“Mothers and fathers and kind elder sisters who take the little ones
to bed and rack their brains for stories will find this book a
treasure.”—_Cleveland Leader_.
