FOUR GORDONS
By EDNA A. BROWN
Illustrated Large 12mo Decorated Cover $1.35 net
| LOUISE and her three brothers are the "Four Gordons," and the story relates their experiences at home and school during the absence of their parents for a winter in Italy. There is plenty of fun and frolic, with skating, coasting, dancing, and a jolly Christmas visit. The conversation is bright and natural, the book presents no improbable situations, its atmosphere is one of refinement, and it has the merit of depicting simple and wholesome comradeship between boys and girls. "The story and its telling are worthy of Miss Alcott. Young folks of both sexes will enjoy it."—N. Y. Sun. "It is a hearty, wholesome story of youthful life in which the morals are never explained but simply illustrated by logical results."—Christian Register. |
UNCLE DAVID'S BOYS
By EDNA A. BROWN
Illustrated by John Goss 12mo Cloth
Price $1.35 net
| THIS tells how some young people whom circumstances brought together in a little mountain village spent a summer vacation, full of good times, but with some unexpected and rather mysterious occurrences. In the end, more than one head was required to find out exactly what was going on. The story is a wholesome one with a pleasant, well-bred atmosphere, and though it holds the interest, it never approaches the sensational nor passes the bounds of the probable. "A story which will hold the attention of youthful readers from cover to cover and prove not without its interest for older readers."—Evening Wisconsin. "For those young people who like a lively story with some unmistakably old fashioned characteristics, 'Uncle David's Boys,' will have a strong appeal."—Churchman. |
