children; and she has done good service in giving us this charming
juvenile which will delight the young people."--_Athenæum_, London.
=Little Miss Peggy=: Only a Nursery Story. By Mrs. Molesworth. With
Illustrations by Walter Crane. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
Mrs. Molesworth's children are finished studies. She is never
sentimental, but writes common sense in a straightforward manner. A
joyous earnest spirit pervades her work, and her sympathy is unbounded.
She loves them with her whole heart, while she lays bare their little
minds, and expresses their foibles, their faults, their virtues, their
inward struggles, their conception of duty, and their instinctive
knowledge of the right and wrong of things. She knows their characters,
she understands their wants, and she desires to help them.
=Polly=: A New Fashioned Girl. By L. T. Meade. Illustrated 12mo, cloth,
price $1.00.
Few authors have achieved a popularity equal to Mrs. Meade as a writer
of stories for young girls. Her characters are living beings of flesh
and blood, not lay figures of conventional type. Into the trials and
crosses, and everyday experiences, the reader enters at once with zest
and hearty sympathy. While Mrs. Meade always writes with a high moral
purpose, her lessons of life, purity and nobility of character are
rather inculcated by example than intruded as sermons.
=Rosy.= By Mrs. Molesworth. Illustrated by Walter Crane. 12mo, cloth,
price 75 cents.
Mrs. Molesworth, considering the quality and quantity of her labors,
is the best story-teller for children England has yet known. This is a
bold statement and requires substantiation. Mrs. Molesworth, during the
last six years, has never failed to occupy a prominent place among the
juvenile writers of the season.
"A very pretty story.... The writer knows children and their ways
well.... The illustrations are exceedingly well drawn."--_Spectator._
=Little Sunshine's Holiday=: A Picture from Life. By Miss Mulock.
Illustrated by Walter Crane. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
"This is a pretty narrative of baby life, describing the simple doings
and savings of a very charming and rather precocious child nearly three
years old."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"Will be delightful to those who have nurseries peopled by 'Little
Sunshines' of their own."--_Athenæum._
=Esther=: A Book for Girls. By Rosa N. Carey. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth,
price $1.00.
"She inspires her readers simply by bringing them in contact with the
characters, who are in themselves inspiring. Her simple stories are
woven in order to give her an opportunity to describe her characters by
their own conduct in seasons of trial."--_Chicago Times._
=Sweet Content.= By Mrs. Molesworth. Illustrated by W. Rainey. 12mo,
cloth, price 75 cents.
"It seems to me not at all easier to draw a lifelike child than to draw
a lifelike man or woman: Shakespeare and Webster were the only two men
of their age who could do it with perfect delicacy and success. Our own
age is more fortunate, on this single score at least, having a larger
and far nobler proportion of female writers; among whom, since the
death of George Eliot, there is none left whose touch is so exquisite
and masterly, whose love is so thoroughly according to knowledge,
whose bright and sweet invention is so fruitful, so truthful, or so
delightful as Mrs. Molesworth."--A. C. Swinburne.
=One of a Covey.= By the Author of "Honor Bright," "Miss Toosey's
Mission." With Numerous Illustrations by H. J. A. Miles. 12mo, cloth,
price 75 cents.
"Full of spirit and life, so well sustained throughout that grown-up
readers may enjoy it as much as children. This 'Covey' consists of the
twelve children of a hard-pressed Dr. Partridge, out of which is chosen
a little girl to be adopted by a spoilt, fine lady.... It is one of the
best books of the season."--_Guardian._
"We have rarely read a story for boys and girls with greater pleasure.
One of the chief characters would not have disgraced Dickens'
pen."--_Literary World._
=The Little Princess of Tower Hill.= By L. T. Meade. Illustrated, 12mo,
cloth, price 75 cents.
"This is one of the prettiest books for children published, as pretty
as a pond-lily, and quite as fragrant. Nothing could be imagined more
attractive to young people than such a combination of fresh pages and
fair pictures; and while children will rejoice over it--which is much
better than crying for it--it is a book that can be read with pleasure
even by older boys and girls."--_Boston Advertiser._
=Honor Bright=; or, The Four-Leaved Shamrock. By the Author of "One
of a Covey," "Miss Toosey's Mission," etc., etc. With full-page
Illustrations. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.
"It requires a special talent to describe the sayings and doings of
children, and the author of 'Honor Bright,' 'One of a Covey,' possesses
that talent in no small degree."--_Literary Churchman._
"A cheery, sensible, and healthy tale."--_The Times._
=The Cuckoo Clock.= By Mrs. Molesworth. With Illustrations by Walter
Crane. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
"A beautiful little story. It will be read with delight by every
child into whose hands it is placed.... The author deserves all the
praise that has been, is, and will be bestowed on 'The Cuckoo Clock.'
Children's stories are plentiful, but one like this is not to be met
with every day."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
=Girl Neighbors=; or, The Old Fashion and the New. By Sarah Tytler.
With full-page Illustrations by C. T. Garland. 12mo, cloth, price 75
cents.
"One of the most effective and quietly humorous of Miss Tytler's
stories. 'Girl Neighbors' is a pleasant comedy, not so much of errors
as of prejudices got rid of, very healthy, very agreeable, and very
well written."--_Spectator._
=The Little Lame Prince.= By Miss Mulock. Illustrated, cloth, price 75
cents.
"No sweeter--that is the proper word--Christmas story for the little
folks could easily be found, and it is as delightful for older readers
as well. There is a moral to it which the reader can find out for
himself, if he chooses to think."--_Herald_, Cleveland.
=The Adventures of a Brownie.= As Told to my Child. By Miss Mulock.
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
"The author of this delightful little book leaves it in doubt all
through whether there actually is such a creature in existence as
a Brownie, but she makes us hope that there might be."--_Standard_,
Chicago.
=Only a Girl=: A Story of a Quiet Life. A Tale of Brittany. Adapted
from the the French by C. A. Jones. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price
$1.00.
"We can thoroughly recommend this brightly written and homely
narrative."--_Saturday Review._
=Little Rosebud=; or, Things Will Take a Turn. By Beatrice Harraden.
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
"A most delightful little book.... Miss Harraden is so bright, so
healthy, and so natural withal that the book ought, as a matter of
duty, to be added to every girl's library in the land."--_Boston
Transcript._
=Little Miss Joy.= By Emma Marshall. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75
cents.
"A very pleasant and instructive story, told by a very charming writer
in such an attractive way as to win favor among its young readers. The
illustrations add to the beauty of the book."--_Utica Herald._
=Little Lucy's Wonderful Globe.= By Charlotte M. Yonge. Illustrated,
12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
"This story is unique among tales intended for children, alike for
pleasant instruction, quaintness of humor, gentle pathos, and the
subtlety with which lessons moral and otherwise are conveyed to
children, and perhaps to their seniors as well."--_The Spectator._
=Joan's Adventures at the North Pole and Elsewhere.= By Alice Corkran.
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
"Wonderful as the adventures of Joan are, it must be admitted that they
are very naturally worked out and very plausibly presented. Altogether
this is an excellent story for girls."--_Saturday Review._
=Count Up the Sunny Days=: A Story for Boys and Girls. By C. A. Jones.
With full-page Illustrations, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.
"An unusually good children's story."--_Glasgow Herald._

fun."--_Athenæum._
=Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.= By Lewis Carroll. With 42

story."--_New York Express._

=English Fairy Tales.= Edited by Joseph Jacobs. Illustrated by J. D.
Batten. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.
"The tales are simply delightful. No amount of description can do
them justice. The only way is to read the book through from cover to
cover."--_Magazine and Book Review._
"The book is intended to correspond to 'Grimm's Fairy Tales,' and it
must be allowed that its pages fairly rival in interest those of the
well-known repository of folk-lore."--_Sydney Morning Herald._

Batten. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.
"Mr. Jacobs brings home to us in a clear and intelligible manner the
enormous influence which 'Indian Fairy Tales' have had upon European
literature of the kind."--_Gloucester Journal._
"The present combination will be welcomed not alone by the little
ones for whom it is specially combined, but also by children of larger
growth and added years."--_Daily Telegraph._
=The Blue Fairy Book.= Edited by Andrew Lang. Profusely Illustrated,
12mo, cloth, price $1.00.
"The tales are simply delightful. No amount of description can do
them justice. The only way is to read the book through from cover to
cover."--_Magazine and Book Review._
=The Green Fairy Book.= Edited by Andrew Lang. Profusely Illustrated,
12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

together, ever presented to children."--E. S. Hartland, in _Folk-Lore_.

to the end."--_London Graphic._

12mo, cloth, price $1.00.
"Among all the modern writers we believe Miss Yonge first, not in
genius, but in this, that she employs her great abilities for a high
and noble purpose. We know of few modern writers whose works may be so
safely commended as hers."--_Cleveland Times._
=A Sweet Girl Graduate.= By L. T. Meade. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth,
