“Both for its merit as a model of the way in which occupational information should be presented, and for what it signifies in the modern outlook of thoughtful college women and, it may be added, of college men as well, this book is noteworthy. The publishers deserve mention for the most attractively printed book in the field of vocational guidance.” Meyer Bloomfield

20–17679
This is the author’s second book of Czechoslovak fairy tales and folk tales with illustrations and decorations by Jan Matulka. It is a companion volume to the earlier collection and contains besides the fairy tales five nursery tales and a group of devil tales. They are not so much translations as a retelling of other versions to suit the English-speaking child. The fairy tales are: The twelve months; Zlatovlaska the golden-haired; The shepherd’s nosegay; Vitazko the victorious. The shoemaker’s apron is one of the devil tales.
“An interesting collection of twenty stories drawn from original sources and retold with simple charm.”
