Illustrated by Albert Herter.
Macmillan. 1.50

Hawthorne, in his Wonder Book, has described the beautiful (p. 152)
Greek myths and traditions, but no one has yet made similar use of
the wondrous tales that gathered for more than a thousand years
about the islands of the Atlantic deep.... The order of the tales
in the present work follows roughly the order of development,
giving first the legends which kept near the European shore, and
then those which, like St. Brandan's or Antillia, were assigned
to the open sea or, like Norumbega or the Isle of Demons, to the
very coast of America.... Every tale in this book bears reference
to some actual legend, followed more or less closely.--_Preface._

LAMB, CHARLES.
The Adventures of Ulysses.
Illustrated by M.H. Squire and E. Mars.
Russell. 2.50

Intended to be an introduction to the reading of Telemachus; it
is done out of the Odyssey, not from the Greek. I would not
mislead you; nor yet from Pope's Odyssey, but from an older
translation of one Chapman.
LAMB.

This children's classic, with its pure and forceful English, is
presented in an attractive manner. The full-page illustrations are in
black and buff.

LANIER, SIDNEY (Editor).
Knightly Legends of Wales, or The Boy's Mabinogion.
Scribner. 2.00

The Mabinogion, or Welsh legends of King Arthur, belong to a much
earlier period than Malory. In this edition the original text is
scrupulously preserved, except for necessary excision, and occasional
condensation which is always placed in brackets.

WILSON, C.D. (p. 153)
The Story of the Cid.
Lothrop. 1.25

"Thus lived and died the great Cid Campeador of Spain, most
wonderful of heroes, who was never defeated, and who became the
ancestor of kings."

This edition is founded upon the translation of Southey.
