Andersen, H.C.
Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen.
Translated by Mrs. Edgar Lucas.
Illustrated by Thomas, Charles, and William Robinson.
Dutton. 2.50
Most truly rendered in the edition by Mrs. E. Lucas, illustrated by the Robinsons.
Mrs. H.L. Elmendorf.
Mrs. Lucas is well fitted for her office of translator, although there are a number of tales in this selection which, in the opinion of the compiler of this List, might well have been omitted because of their horrible character. The pictures are so remarkable that in them the stories live again.
Baldwin, James.
A Story of the Golden Age.
Illustrated by Howard Pyle.
Scribner. 1.50
Mr. Baldwin's object, as he tells us, has been to pave the way to the enjoyable reading of Homer. He has depicted for us the boyhood and youth of Odysseus, taking the various legends relating to the causes of the Trojan War, and weaving them into one continuous narrative, ending where Homer begins.
