A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

Burnett, F.E. (H.).

Little Lord Fauntleroy.
Scribner. 1.25

Mrs. Burnett's well-known story of the little American boy who in the course of events becomes heir to an English earldom is included in this list because of the beautiful and kindly spirit shown by the child to those about him.

Drummond, Henry.

*The Monkey That Would Not Kill.
Illustrated by Louis Wain.
Dodd. 1.00

Professor Drummond wrote these two tales--his first attempt at fiction--while acting as temporary editor of a children's magazine. The first, that of Tricky, was so liked by children all over the world that the second, Gum, was written soon after. Mr. Wain's pictures are very good.

Jewett, S.O.

Play Days.
Houghton. 1.50
