Chambers, Robert William. Mountain-land; with 8 full page il. in col. by Frank Richardson. **$1.50. Appleton.
Two little children have an instructive day’s journey to the mountain-land during which they converse with the mountains centuries old and learn the lesson of its disregard for time and change, and talk with the ice-fly, the snow jay, a band of owls, a squirrel, a lynx and giant silkworm moths. Each one of the creatures furnishes instruction regarding its identity, habitat and general characteristics.
