NEW BOOKS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

ANOTHER “DEAL” STORY

The Winds of Deal

By LATTA GRISWOLD

Author of “Deering of Deal” and “Deering at Princeton”

With Illustrations by George Harper

Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net

That there are few men better qualified to write school stories than Latta Griswold has been amply demonstrated by that author’s previous books. Here, in “The Winds of Deal,” he tells another tale quite as stirring as its predecessors. Deal School, the locale of his first work, “Deering of Deal,” is again the scene, while Tony Deering himself once more figures in the action, though he is not the character of chief importance. That person is one George Erroll, a most likable chap and a very human creation, too. In the narrative of his adventures Mr. Griswold has splendidly caught the spirit of school life with its friendships, its trials, its tribulations as well as its successes.

ROBERTS’S NEW ANIMAL STORIES

Hoof and Claw

By CHARLES G. D. ROBERTS

Author of “Kings in Exile,” “Neighbors Unknown,” etc.

With Illustrations by Paul Bransom

Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.35 net

“Under the faithful guidance of Mr. Roberts,” the editor of the London Athenæum once wrote, “we have ventured among the wild beasts of land and sea; and we hope to do so many times in the future. It is an education not to be missed by those who have the chance, and the chance is every one’s.” “Hoof and Claw” is another of those books for which Mr. Roberts is so justly famous, a book much like the one referred to in the preceding sentences. In it are told more than a dozen stories of animals. Mr. Roberts writes with an understanding of the nature of the creatures of field and forest that is nothing short of marvelous, an appreciation of the wild life that has seldom if ever found its equal in literature. Among the titles of the tales in his latest collection are “The Bear That Thought He Was a Dog,” “The Trail of the Vanishing Herds,” “The Cabin Door,” “A Basket of Fish,” “The Fisher in the Chutes,” “The Runner of the High Peaks,” and “Up a Tree.”
