AND THE CLOUD-SPINNER. Translated from the French of GEORGE SAND, by
Mrs. CORKRAN. With 2 coloured Illustrations. Crown 8vo; cloth extra,
2_s._
These stories are among the most attractive of the many tales which
the great French novelist wrote for her grandchildren. They are full
of fancy, of vivid description, and of a keen appreciation of the
best way to arouse the interest of juvenile readers. The romantic
manner in which they are told lends to them the kind of enchantment
which thoughtful children deeply appreciate.
"Mrs. Corkran has earned our gratitude by translating into readable
English these two charming little stories."--_Athenaeum._
"The finest of all these books beyond question is the 'Wings of
Courage,' which ranks with the writings of Erckmann-Chatrian for
finish, beauty, and naturalness. The whole story is
delightful."--_Dundee Advertiser._
