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.
Lane. .25
"So sweet a face, so fair--was never
beauty such as this;
He stands--he stoops to gaze--he kneels--
he wakes her with a kiss.
He leads her forth; the magic sleep
of all the Court is o'er--
They wake, they move, they talk, they laugh,
just as they did of yore
A hundred years ago."

GREAT AUTHORS
Children seem to possess an inherent conviction that when the
hole is big enough for the cat, no smaller one at the side is
needed for the kitten. They don't really care for "Glimpses" of
this, or "Gleanings" of that, or "Footsteps" to the other--but
would rather stretch and pull, and get on tiptoe to reach the
sweeter fruit above them, than confine themselves to the crabs
which grow to their level.
