Spyri, Johanna. [Moni the goat boy, and other stories] tr. from the German by Edith F. Kunz. *40c. Ginn.
There is a delightful simplicity about the three little stories which make up this volume; they breathe the love of children, of animals, and of mountain air. Moni, the goat boy, was happy when his conscience was wholly clear, he tended his goats, and sang to them, and did not want to become an egg boy because eggs could not love you or come when you called. Without a friend, tells of how stupid Rudi ceased to be stupid when friendship came to him, and The little runaway, is the story of the marvelous reformation of a saucy little boy.

“It aims in short, to impart some such knowledge of Celtic mythology as most persons of cultivation are supposed to possess of the mythology of Greece and Rome, and so far as the substance of the ancient tales is concerned it accomplishes this purpose satisfactorily.”
