An Old-Fashioned Story. Illustrated, 12mo, boards, net 75c.
By the sheer wizardry of his art, the author illumines a gray, shabby
neighborhood with genial light, and makes of a dingy bird store a
temple of high romance. What happens to Timothy Twitter, the cheery
old bird dealer; to a wonderful dog Alexander; to the little girl who
owns him and her veteran grandfather, is related with a whimsical
tenderness few writers since Dickens have been able to employ. There
is many a long chuckle awaiting the readers of THE BIRD STORE MAN,
and not a few tugs at the heart.
