The story deals with one of the most romantic episodes in English history. Queen Anne, the last of the reigning Stuarts, is described with a strong yet sympathetic touch, and the young Duke of Gloster, the "little lady," and the hero of the tale, Robin Sandys, are delightful characterizations.
Gulliver's Bird Book. Being the Newly Discovered Strange Adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, Now for the First Time Described and Illustrated. By L. J. Bridgman, author of "Mother Goose and Her Wild Beast Show," etc.
With upwards of 100 illustrations in color, large quarto, cloth $1.50
This is a most amusing and original book, illustrated with startlingly odd and clever drawings. If we may accept the account given in the preface, that renowned explorer, Lemuel Gulliver, left behind him certain memoirs which have remained unknown to the public up to the present day. Having now been brought to light and given to the world, these records establish beyond a doubt their author's claim to be regarded as the discoverer of the Bouncing Ballazoon and a host of other creatures unknown to Darwin and Huxley.
