WANDERERS IN BO-PEEP’S WORLD.
It will be accompanied with twelve full-page drawings by Miss E. S. Tucker. The author of “Little Talks about Plants” and “Little Talks about Insects,” has prepared an amusing series about
TINY FOLK IN RED AND BLACK,
in which she tells about ants and their wise and curious ways—how they work, how they harvest their grain, how they milk their cows, etc.
TEN LITTLE INDIANS,
by Mrs. Helen E. Sweet, tells many interesting things about Indian boys and girls, their sports and their strange ways of living, so unlike the life of our little men and women. The History Chapters for the year will consist of
ADVENTURES OF THE EARLY DISCOVERERS,
by Mrs. Frances A. Humphrey, following on from the voyages of Columbus, given last year, and relating the story of Ponce de Leon and his search in America for the Fountain of Youth, the romantic tale of De Soto and his burial in the Mississippi River, the exploits of Capt. John Smith in Virginia, etc., such incidents being chosen from the life of each as shall most interest little readers.
All these will be profusely illustrated, as also will be the verses and short stories by Mrs. Clara Doty Bates, Sara E. Farman, Mrs. Olive Howard, Charles E. Skinner, Bessie Chandler, H. R. Hudson, Anna R. Henderson, Henrietta K. Elliot, Emilie Poulsson, and other favorite writers.
The yearly numbers, as heretofore, will have seventy-five full-page pictures. $1.00 a year.
