Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic.
Illustrated by Albert Herter.
Macmillan. 1.50
Hawthorne, in his Wonder Book, has described the beautiful Greek myths and traditions, but no one has yet made similar use of the wondrous tales that gathered for more than a thousand years about the islands of the Atlantic deep.... The order of the tales in the present work follows roughly the order of development, giving first the legends which kept near the European shore, and then those which, like St. Brandan's or Antillia, were assigned to the open sea or, like Norumbega or the Isle of Demons, to the very coast of America.... Every tale in this book bears reference to some actual legend, followed more or less closely.--Preface.

Intended to be an introduction to the reading of Telemachus; it is done out of the Odyssey, not from the Greek. I would not mislead you; nor yet from Pope's Odyssey, but from an older translation of one Chapman.
Lamb.
This children's classic, with its pure and forceful English, is presented in an attractive manner. The full-page illustrations are in black and buff.
