Those who begin to lay in their stock of Christmas books early should
remember PINE CONES, which will delight the heart of many a boy
and girl during the holidays.--_Boston Transcript._
Mr. Willis Boyd Allen is already known to the readers of the
_Sunday-school Times_ as one of our best writers of stories for
children. His style is marked by a simplicity, naturalness and lack of
sensationalism; and his stories move with the freedom of boyish nature
and of the open air.--_Sunday-school Times._
A decidedly bright book--sweet and pure as the pine woods themselves. It
is a story of city boys and girls spending the Christmas holidays with
Uncle Will, away down in the Maine woods. Such delightful times as they
have, even if they did have to camp out in the woods all the first
night!--_Golden Rule._
PINE CONES is enlivened by tales of sea and land, sometimes
humorous, sometimes pathetic, and always interesting.--_Portland
Transcript._
Profusely illustrated, and brimful of incident, adventure and
fun.--_Wide Awake._
A charming book of adventures, written in a bright and fascinating
style.--_Journal of Education._
It is good, wholesome reading that will make boys nobler and girls
gentler. A breezy, joyous, entertaining book.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
_For Sale by D. LOTHROP & CO., Boston._
