“‘The Golden Spears and Other Fairy Tales’ is a book of absorbing interest for children, and will be read with pleasure by grown-up people. It is by the Irish writer, Edmund Leamy, who understood the child nature and loved to minister to it. The delight which children have in the world of fields and flowers, birds and blue skies, finds abundant expression in the stories. In each tale the dramatic feature is well developed and holds the reader’s interest to the end. The book has real literary merit, the author’s style being graceful and well adapted to the child mind. There are not enough such books in the world. Books that are free from objectionable features and meet the child’s craving for the wonderful, at the same time portraying the beautiful and noble in the world and in human life, are very rare. Brightness, beauty, nobility of sentiment, brave deeds, generous conduct, kindness, gratitude, fidelity, appreciation of the good and true in humanity, kindness to the lower orders of life, purity of thought, all find abundant expression in the stories. There are seven of them in the volume. Each has an attractive illustration drawn by Corinne Turner. They are printed on paper of an excellent quality and handsomely bound in cloth, with an appropriate cover design in colors. Educators would do well to consider this volume as well adapted to meet the need for suitable reading matter in certain school grades.”—The Springfield Republican.
