A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

"Alice! a childish story take,
And with a gentle hand
Lay it where Childhood's dreams are twined
In Memory's mystic band,
Like pilgrim's withered wreath of flowers
Plucked in a far-off land."

Carroll, Lewis (Pseudonym of C. L. Dodgson).

Alice in Wonderland.
Illustrated by Arthur Rackham.
Doubleday. 1.40

Those wishing to depart from John Tenniel's illustrations will find these pictures of Arthur Rackham very interesting. We are given delightful black and white work, though most of the full-page pictures are in color.

Enchanting Alice! Black-and-white
Has made your deeds perennial;
And naught save "Chaos and old Night"
Can part you now from Tenniel;
But still you are a Type, and based
In Truth, like Lear and Hamlet;
And Types may be re-draped to taste
In cloth of gold or camlet.

Austin Dobson.

Carroll, Lewis (Pseudonym of C. L. Dodgson).

Through the Looking-Glass.
Illustrated by John Tenniel.
Macmillan. 1.00
