The Frog Prince.
Lane. .25
The story of the frog who was transformed into the handsome prince is as immortal as childhood. May we all remember the King's command to his daughter: "He who helped you in the time of your trouble must not now be despised."
Crane, Walter (Illustrator).
Jack and the Bean-Stalk.
Lane. .25
Ogre-like indeed is the giant, and we breathe a sigh of relief when verses as well as pictures make it quite certain that Jack has escaped for the third time with his golden treasure. The beans of King Alfred's day seem to have closely resembled the wild oats of our own.
Crane, Walter (Illustrator).
The Sleeping Beauty.
Lane. .25
"So sweet a face, so fair--was never
beauty such as this;
He stands--he stoops to gaze--he kneels--
he wakes her with a kiss.
He leads her forth; the magic sleep
of all the Court is o'er--
They wake, they move, they talk, they laugh,
just as they did of yore
A hundred years ago."
