Nugent, Meredith. New games and amusements for young and old alike. **$1.50. Doubleday.
Mr. Nugent creates for the boy of ten a magic world and makes of his young devotee a veritable wizard. The book contains wonderful soap-bubble tricks, with the recipe used for producing immense bubbles lasting from five to ten minutes; it tells how to engineer yacht races in the clouds, how to make sunshine engines, and how to have a circus on a kite string. There are numerous illustrations made by the author and his collaborator, Victor J. Smedley.
“The book is distinctly novel in the suggestions offered, and is thus a pleasing departure from its type.”
