Little Indian, Sioux or Crow,
Little frosty Eskimo,
Little Turk or Japanee,
O! don't you wish that you were me?
. . . . . . .
You have curious things to eat, (p. 41)
I am fed on proper meat;
You must dwell beyond the foam,
But I am safe and live at home.
STEVENSON.
ANDREWS, JANE.
The Seven Little Sisters Who Live on the Round Ball That
Floats in the Air.
Ginn. .50
These simple stories, written for the girls and boys of a generation
ago, have taken their place among the charming and vivid descriptions
of child-life in different lands.
The round ball is the earth, and the sisters are the tribes that
dwell thereon. The little book was conceived in a happy hour; its
pictures are so real and so graphic, so warm and so human, that
the most literal and the most imaginative of children must find
in them, not only something to charm, but also to mould pleasant
associations for maturer years.
THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON.
