THE JOLLY ROVER
YOUNG JOE AND OTHER BOYS

"If every boy could read these stories, or have them read to him,
there would be fewer rogues in the world. Straightforward, honest
stories, without cant, without moralizing, full of genuine fun and
hard common sense, they are just the tales that are needed to make
a young fellow fall in love with simple integrity and fair dealing.
They are noble contributions to juvenile literature."--_Woman's
Journal_.

"Mr. Trowbridge has a good perception of character, which he draws
with skill; he has abundance of invention, which he never abuses;
and he has, what so many American writers have not, an easy, graceful
style, which can be humorous, or pathetic, or poetic."--_R. H.
Stoddard in N.Y. Mail_.

A START IN LIFE
BIDING HIS TIME
THE KELP-GATHERERS
THE SCARLET TANAGER

"No better or more pleasing writer for young folks than Mr.
Trowbridge can be found. He draws his characters true to life,
concealing no faults, and exaggerating no virtues, but paints each
in their own lights and shadows so vividly that to avoid the one and
imitate the other must be the natural impulse of all boys and girls
who read his most excellent and fascinating stories."--_San Jose
Mercury_.

Every boy of our acquaintance likes the books by Trowbridge. Every
young girl ought to enjoy them, also, for they are wholesome, true
to nature and human nature, and full of good sentiment. His stories
are always interesting, sometimes thrilling, and often they contain
much information, either of history or natural history.

Woodie Thorpe's Pilgrimage And other Stories

To see life as it is, and depict it by easy and truthful touches,
is a high attainment. Mr. Trowbridge has abundantly vindicated his
claim to a place among the writers to whom readers attribute the
grace and power of naturalness. "Woodie Thorpe's Pilgrimage,"
"Uncle Caleb's Roan Colt," "Lost on the Tide," etc., are all stories
of deep interest, which one will follow with attention. The book
does not preach, but conveys some salutary lessons.
