108. Nimpo’s Troubles. (Griffith, Farran, & Co.) 3s. 6d.
This is an American story of a self-willed child, which children like very much. She chooses during her mother’s absence from home to board with people of her own selection, and gets into very comical predicaments.
109. A Little Step-daughter. By the Author of the ‘Atelier du Lys.’ (National Society) 3s. 6d.
A child stolen by smugglers in the wild districts of Southern France in the time of Louis XV., taken care of by a woman who feeds silk-worms. Very interesting.
110. Alone in Crowds. By Annette Lyster. (S.P.C.K.) 3s.
A youth bred up by his father on a desert island from early infancy. When rescued and brought home he is utterly astray and perplexed in England.
111. The Giant Killer. By A.L.O.E. (Nelson) 3s.
This is rather stilted, but has been much enjoyed by elder children. It is much better than the second part ‘The Roby Family.’ As a rule, this lady’s books are very religious, without Church teaching, and a little too stiff in language, but useful.
112. Bear and Forbear. (Cassell) 2s.
An excellent tale of an Edinburgh newspaper boy.
