By James Baldwin. Three volumes, 12mo., each beautifully illustrated. Singly, $1.50. The set, $4.00.
A STORY OF THE GOLDEN AGE. Illustrated by Howard Pyle.
“It is redolent with the spirit of the Odyssey, that glorious primitive epic, fresh with the dew of the morning of time. It is an unalloyed pleasure to read his recital of the adventures of the wily Odysseus. Howard Pyle’s illustrations render the spirit of the Homeric age with admirable felicity.”—Prof. H. H. Boyesen.
THE STORY OF ROLAND. Illustrated by Reginald B. Birch.
“Mr. Baldwin has culled from a wide range of epics, French, Italian and German, and has once more proved his aptitude as a story teller for the young, while conveying information for which many of their elders will be thankful.”—The Nation.
THE STORY OF SIEGFRIED. Illustrated by Howard Pyle.
“The story of ‘Siegfried’ is charmingly told. The author makes up the story from the various myths in a fascinating way which cannot fail to interest. It is as enjoyable as any fairy tale. The writer’s style is simple and very attractive, and the book is in every way an excellent one for young readers.”—Hartford Courant.
TWO JUVENILES BY EDWARD EGGLESTON
THE HOOSIER SCHOOL-BOY. 12mo. With full-page illustrations, $1.00.
“‘The Hoosier School-Boy’ depicts some of the characteristics of boy life years ago on the Ohio. The story presents a vivid and interesting picture of the difficulties which in those days beset the path of the youth aspiring for an education. These obstacles, which the hero of the story succeeds by his manliness and force of character in surmounting, are just such as a majority of the most distinguished Americans, including Lincoln and Garfield, have had to contend with, and which they have made the stepping-stone to their future greatness.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
