be quite so delightfully charming as were the 'Dotty Dimple' and
the 'Little Prudy' books to our youthful imagination, but we have no
doubt the little folks of to-day will find the story of 'Flaxie Frizzle'
and her young friends just as fascinating. There is a sprightliness
about all of Miss Clarke's books that attracts the young, and their
purity, their absolute cleanliness, renders them invaluable in the eyes
of parents and all who are interested in the welfare of children."--
Morning Star.

"Genius comes in with 'Little Prudy.' Compared with her, all other
book-children are cold creations of literature; she alone is the real
thing. All the quaintness of children, its originality, its tenderness
and its teasing, its infinite uncommon drollery, the serious earnestness
of its fun, the fun of its seriousness, the naturalness of its plays,
and the delicious oddity of its progress, all these united for dear
Little Prudy to embody them."--North American Review.

SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS

LITTLE PRUDY.

"I have been wanting to say a word about a book for children, perfect of
its kind--I mean Little Prudy. It seems to me the greatest book of the
season for children. The authoress has a genius for story-telling.
Prudy's letter to Mr. 'Gustus Somebody must be genuine; if an invention,
it shows a genius akin to that of the great masters. It is a positive
kindness to the little ones to remind their parents that there is such a
book as Little Prudy."--Springfield Republican.

LITTLE PRUDY'S SISTER SUSIE.

"Every little girl and boy who has made the acquaintance of that funny
'Little Prudy' will be eager to read this book, in which she figures
quite as largely as her bigger sister, though the joys and troubles of
poor Susie make a very interesting story."--Portland Transcript.

"Certainly one of the most cunning, natural, and witty little books we
ever read."--Hartford Press.

LITTLE PRUDY'S CAPTAIN HORACE.

"These are such as none but Sophie May
