On The Blockade

by Oliver Optic

1. The Picnic Party. 2. The Gold Thimble. 3. The Do-Somethings.

4. Christmas Gift. 5. Uncle Ben. 6. Birthday Party.

These are bright short stories for younger children who are unable to comprehend the Starry Flag Series or the Army and Navy Series. But they all display the author's talent for pleasing and interesting the little folks. They are all fresh and original, preaching no sermons, but inculcating good lessons.
