FOR EACH HOUR OF THE DAY. Written and Illustrated by HOWARD
PYLE. Embellished with Verses by KATHERINE PYLE. Large
8vo, Ornamental Half Leather, $3 00.
The illustrations fit the stories perfectly, and are as fantastic as
the warmest lovers of tales of magic can desire. The artist enters so
thoroughly into the spirit of the stories that his wonderful drawings
have an air of reality about them. Some are grotesque, some exquisitely
graceful; all are so spirited, so vigorous, so admirable in design and
in the expression of the faces and figures, and so full of action, that
it is hard to say which is the best.--_Boston Post._
"The Wonder Clock" is truly a monument to the genius and industry of
the author in his line of illustrated tales, and also to the enterprise
of the publishers in producing choice children's books.--_Brooklyn
Eagle._

A quaint and charming book.... Mr. Pyle's wonderful versatility is

and then a touch of fine sadness.--_The Critic_, N. Y.
