“The second volume of a history which applies real historical research to the making of children’s books. As in the first book the authors have described changes in building, furniture, dress, and games as ‘history in stone, wood, and fabrics.’ It is their desire to present work as a ‘joyous sort of business’ which shall give boys and girls the desire to take the pains with their labors which distinguished the craftsmen. Bibliography. Index.”—Booklist

“This second part is not nearly so good as its predecessor. Its authors have been spoilt by success, and the latter pages of the book in particular show, to put it mildly, signs of haste. The first chapter, on the sixteenth century, is the best.”
