“The Woodranger Tales,” like the “Pathfinder Tales” of J. Fenimore
Cooper, combine historical information relating to early pioneer
days in America with interesting adventures in the backwoods.
Although the same characters are continued throughout the series,
each book is complete in itself, and, while based strictly on
historical facts, is an interesting and exciting tale of adventure.

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_.
’Tilda Jane. By Marshall Saunders, author of “Beautiful Joe,”
etc.
One vol., 12mo, fully illustrated, cloth, decorative
cover . . . $1.50
“No more amusing and attractive child’s story has appeared for a
long time than this quaint and curious recital of the adventures of
that pitiful and charming little runaway.
“It is one of those exquisitely simple and truthful books that win
and charm the reader, and I did not put it down until I had finished
it—honest! And I am sure that every one, young or old, who reads
will be proud and happy to make the acquaintance of the delicious
waif.
“I cannot think of any better book for children than this. I commend
it unreservedly.”—_Cyrus Townsend Brady_.
