Knowing how much good books are enjoyed by those who travel through what Stevenson calls “The Land of Play,” it has been a pleasure to select from the verse and prose of our best writers, old and new, the contents of this pictured volume for “The Little People,” and perchance for some older traveller who may wish to be,—
“A sailor on the rain-pool sea,
A climber in the clover tree;
And just come back a sleepy-head,
Late at night to go to bed.”
