Hawthorne, Nathaniel.
Tanglewood Tales.
Houghton. .75
In this second Wonder Book Hawthorne again tells us in simple language of great heroes of Greek mythical days. The Minotaur, the Pygmies, The Dragon's Teeth, Circe's Palace, The Pomegranate Seeds, and The Golden Fleece, comprise the contents of the volume.
Hodgson, Geraldine.
Rama and the Monkeys.
Illustrated by W.H. Robinson.
Macmillan. .50
In fine and picturesque language, retained from the Indian original, Geraldine Hodgson has given us this adaptation from the Ramayana. We learn, with delight, to know the monkey hosts: "Hanuman, that strong, forgiving, wise, brave, and humble Ape," and "Sugriva, that best of Monkeys."
Kipling, Rudyard.
The Jungle Book.
