tle girl find the fairy prince of her imagination! CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). The Frog Prince. Lane. .25 The story of the frog who was transformed into the handsome prince is as immortal as childhood. May we all remember the King's command to his daughter: "He who helped you in the time of your trouble must not now be despised." CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). Jack and the Bean-Stalk. Lane. .25 Ogre-like indeed is the giant, and we breathe a sigh of relief when verses as well as pictures make it quite certain that Jack has escaped for the third time with his golden treasure. The beans of King (p. 44) Alfred's day seem to have closely resembled the wild oats of our own. CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). The Sleeping Beauty.

Miss RIGBY. _1844._ COWPER, WILLIAM. *The Diverting History of John Gilpin. Illustrated by Randolph Caldecott. Warne. .25 A spirited delineation of the never-to-be-forgotten ride. COX, PALMER. (p. 45) *The Brownies: Their Book. Illustrated by the Author. Century. 1.50 Every child should know Mr. Cox's prankish, helpful Brownies. The verses are accompanied by many delightful pictures.
