Or, LESSONS FROM FIELD AND TREE. By ALICE BANKS. With 54 Character
Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Small 4to, cloth, handsome design on
cover, 3_s._ 6_d._; gilt edges, 4_s._
About a dozen highly dramatic sketches or little stories, the actors
in which are birds, beasts, and insects. They are instructive, suited
to the capacities of young people, and very amusing. The character
drawings, with which the book is profusely illustrated, are
delightfully funny.
"The real charm of the volume lies in the illustrations. Every one
is a success. With birds and mice and insects the artist is equally
at home; but his birds above all are inimitable."--_Academy._
"This is a very pleasing book for the young. The morals of the
stories are very sound, and by no means obtrusive."--_Daily News._
