JACOB RIIS’S
The Old Town
Illustrated, cloth, 12mo, $2.00 net
In this delightful book Mr. Riis writes of his boyhood home, the queer old city of Ribe. The historical interests and landmarks of Ribe are many, and here they are set before us with that same sympathy, expression, and care for detail which enabled Mr. Riis to picture in so graphic a manner the life of the New York City slum dwellers. Vivid portrayals of life in the old days, of the sports and pranks of children, of the curious and quaint customs of their elders, abound in every chapter and proclaim the “message of the old town.” Mr. Benda in his pictures has been strikingly successful in supplementing Mr. Riis’s work.
