By JOHANNA SPYRI. Translated by ELISABETH P. STORK. Introduction by
Charles Wharton Stork. With eight illustrations in color by Maria L.
Kirk. 8vo. $1.25 net.
This is the latest addition to the Stories All Children Love Series. The
translation of the classic story has been accomplished in a marvellously
simple and direct fashion,--it is a high example of the translator's art.
American children should be as familiar with it as they are with "Swiss
Family Robinson," and we feel certain that on Christmas Day joy will be
brought to the nurseries in which this book is a present. The
illustrations by Maria L. Kirk are of the highest calibre,--the color,
freshness and fantastic airiness present just the spark to kindle the
imagination of the little tots.
