parts of the myth remain unaltered. CHURCH, A.J. (p. 125) The AEneid for Boys and Girls. Macmillan. 1.50 The famous wanderings are retold from Virgil in simple language. Twelve illustrations in color accompany the text. CHURCH, A.J. The Iliad for Boys and Girls. Macmillan. 1.50 In a straightforward manner Mr. Church relates the incidents of the great siege. The volume contains twelve colored illustrations. HARRIS, J.C. *Nights with Uncle Remus. Houghton. 1.50 This second book of folk-lore is supplementary to Uncle Remus; His Songs and His Sayings, and gives a large number of additional myths and legends of the South. HUTCHINSON, W.M.L.

STAWELL (Editors). The Adventures of Odysseus. Illustrated by Charles Robinson. Dutton. 1.50 It has been our aim in this book to reproduce the substance of Homer's Odyssey in simple modern English.
