THE ONE-EYED GRIFFIN, and other Fairy Tales. A Series of Original Stories by Herbert E. Inman, with numerous Illustrations by E. A. Mason.
This book contains several stories in addition to “The One-Eyed Griffin,” which is the chief item among them. This narrative is that of a little boy who enters into the realms of fabulous monsters, where he encounters the giants Can’t, Won’t, and Don’t Care, into whose terrible clutches has fallen the lady of his heart. With the aid of the One-Eyed Griffin he succeeds in overcoming them, and the story continues, in allegorical fashion, to detail the difficulties which befall the diminutive hero. The illustrations are singularly happy in their delineation of the subject, and will win the affections of the youthful circle for whose benefit the volume has been produced.
