King Pippin: A Story for Children. By Mrs. Gerard Ford.
Author of "Pixie."
One of the most charming books for young folks which has been issued for some time. The hero is a lovable little fellow, whose frank and winning ways disarm even the crustiest of grandmothers, and win for him the affection of all manner of unlikely people.
Feats on the Fiord: A Tale of Norwegian Life. By Harriet Martineau.
This admirable book, read and enjoyed by so many young people, deserves to be brought to the attention of parents in search of wholesome reading for their children to-day. It is something more than a juvenile book, being really one of the most instructive books about Norway and Norwegian life and manners ever written.
Songs and Rhymes for the Little Ones. Compiled by Mary Whitney Morrison (Jenny Wallis).
New edition, with an introduction by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney.
No better description of this admirable book can be given than Mrs. Whitney's happy introduction:
"One might almost as well offer June roses with the assurance of their sweetness, as to present this lovely little gathering of verse, which announces itself, like them, by its own deliciousness. Yet, as Mrs. Morrison's charming volume has long been a delight to me, I am only too happy to declare that it is to me—and to two families of my grandchildren—the most bewitching book of songs for little people that we have ever known."
The Young Pearl Divers: A Story of Australian Adventure by Land and by Sea. By Lieut. H. Phelps Whitmarsh.
