"The pretty tale from which the book borrows its name has for its heroine a little French girl brought up in an old château in Normandy, by an aunt who is a recluse and dévote. A child of this type, transplanted suddenly while still in childhood to the realistic atmosphere of prosperous New York, must inevitably have much to suffer. She is puzzled; she is lonely; she has no one to direct her conscience. The quaint little figure, blindly trying to guess the riddle of duty under these unfamiliar conditions, is pathetic, and Mrs. Burnett touches it in with delicate strokes. The stories are prettily illustrated by Birch."

ALCOTT: "In 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' we gain another charming child to add to our gallery of juvenile heroes and heroines; one who teaches a great lesson with such truth and sweetness that we part with him with real regret when the episode is over." | Sara Crewe; OR, WHAT HAPPENED AT MISS MINCHIN'S. Richly and Fully Illustrated by R. B. Birch. One volume, square 8vo, $1.00. FROM LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON: "Everybody was in love with 'Little Lord Fauntleroy,' and I think all the world and the rest of mankind will be in love with 'Sara Crewe.'
