A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

To fear God, do your duty, tell the truth, and be industrious--this was the New England ideal; and until we can replace it by a better, we can hardly afford to belittle it.--Preface.

Stein, Evaleen.

Gabriel and the Hour Book.
Page. 1.00

This simply-told story presents in a charming way a sketch of French life in the reign of Louis XII. It tells of how little Gabriel helped Brother Stephen to illuminate a wonderful Book of Hours for the King to give as a wedding gift to Anne of Brittany, and of the happiness that came to the faithful workers therefrom.

Stockton, F.R.

The Story of Viteau.
Scribner. 1.50

A tale of two French lads, the sons of the Countess of Viteau, who lived in the rude days of Louis IX. Many of the duties and pleasures of mediæval life are incidentally described.
