A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

Custer, E. (B.).

Boots and Saddles.
Harper. 1.50

Mrs. Custer gives us a picture, drawn from her own experiences, of garrison and camp life on the frontier. The book ends with brief mention of the battle of the Little Big Horn, of Sunday, June twenty-fifth, 1876, in which General Custer lost his life.

Dickens, Charles.

A Child's History of England.
Houghton. 2.50

Its adaptation to the needs of children lies in its lively narrative form, and the picturesqueness of many of the scenes which it presents.--Introduction.

This volume, written with Dickens' own eight children in mind, now more than fifty years ago, holds the interest of the boys and girls of to-day as keenly as when it first appeared. The many excellent illustrations add to its attraction and value.
