WALKER, ABBIE (PHILLIPS) (MRS FRED ALLAN WALKER). Sandman’s stories of Drusilla doll. il *75c (2c) Harper
A book of stories for very little people. Drusilla is an unbreakable doll, and it is very lucky for her that she is, for her adventures are many and dreadful and only an unbreakable could have survived them. The book belongs to a series of Sandman’s stories and is illustrated by Rhoda C. Chase.
WALKER, HENRY CRAGIN. Jimmy Bunn stories. il *$1.75 (8c) Century
A book of animal stories for little folks. As in the older folk lore of many lands the rabbit and the wolf are pitted against one another, and the nimble wits of Jimmy Bunn, here as always, are more than a match for the craft of his adversary. The black and white illustrations are by Hope-Innes.
“Fortunately this is not one of that new type of children’s books attempting to compete with the moving pictures. Its language is simple; its faint moralizing successfully camouflaged.”
