“Stories beautiful in tone, and style, and color.”—Kate Douglas Wiggin.
PICCINO, and other Child Stories. Fully illustrated by Reginald B. Birch. Square 8vo, $1.50.
“The history of Piccino’s ‘two days’ is as delicate as one of the anemones that spring in the rock walls facing Piccino’s Mediterranean.... The other stories in the book have the charm of their predecessor in material and matter....”—Mrs. Burton Harrison.

BEHIND THE GARDEN OF THE MOON. A Real Story of the Moon Angel. Written and illustrated by Howard Pyle. Square 12mo, $2.00.
Underneath the charm of this original and delightful fairy tale of Mr. Pyle’s is a mystical moral significance which gives it the dignity of true literature in addition to its interest of adventure. Out of the truth that great deeds are achieved and high character moulded by entire spiritual consecration, rather than by direct and interested effort, the author has evolved a winning and delightful piece of fanciful fiction, and has illustrated it copiously in his happiest and most characteristically poetical vein.
THE MERRY ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire. With many illustrations. Royal 8vo, $3.00.
“This superb book is unquestionably the most original and elaborate ever produced by any American artist. Mr. Pyle has told, with pencil and pen, the complete and consecutive story of Robin Hood and his merry men in their haunts in Sherwood Forest, gathered from the old ballads and legends. Mr. Pyle’s admirable illustrations are strewn profusely through the book.”—Boston Transcript.
