*Nursery Rhymes*
Not since the days of Kate Greenaway have the old nursery favourites
been so daintily presented. Little Jack Horner, Jack Sprat, Tom Tucker,
Old King Cole and their illustrious company are all here. The type is
large and well-arranged, and by means of the full Index of First Lines
any rhyme can be found in a moment.
*Fairy Tales*
All the favourite Nursery Stories--old and yet ever new--Red Riding
Hood, Cinderella, The Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, The Three Bears,
Jack the Giant-Killer, Beauty and the Beast, the redoubtable Bluebeard,
and a host of others. The text has been carefully edited in such a way
that the youngest child can understand and enjoy the stories.
*Alice's Adventures in Wonderland*
The edition of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece. Never has an artist so
successfully conceived the characters from a child's point of view or
given more happy expression to the sly humour and mock seriousness of
the story. This dainty volume, with its wealth of coloured plates, is
easily superior to editions published at three and four times the price.
*Stories from Hans Andersen*
A selection of the stories which most appeal to younger children,
including such favourites as "The Ugly Duckling," "The Little Mermaid,"
"The Tinder Box," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Snow Queen," and
others. The great Danish story-teller has a wonderful hold on the
affections of young people, and this book is sure to please.
