Schmidt, Ferdinand. [Gudran], tr. from the German by George P. Upton. *60c. McClurg.
Uniform with the other volumes of the “Life stories for young people” series, this old German epic, which traces its origin to the thirteenth century, is put into a simple prose form which brings the romance of Gudran the courageous maiden of long ago, within the reach of the less venturesome little maids of today.
Schmidt, Ferdinand. Nibelungs, tr. from the German by George P. Upton. *60c. McClurg.
The translator has used the old form of English expression in this version of the Nibelungen Lied which gives it a quaintness in keeping with the story of Siedfried, Kriemhild, Brunhild, Hagen and the rest. The story has been slightly softened and some parts have been omitted to make it conform in both size and style to the other volumes of the “Life stories for young people” series.
