The angels, that were not too tall,
With stars for marbles? Did the things
Play _Can you see me?_ through their wings?
FRANCIS THOMPSON.

THE BIBLE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
Century. 1.50

This careful chronological arrangement of Bible history, from the King
James version, is very satisfactory. The book is a large one, with
full-page illustrations from the Old Masters.

STORIES

It is enough fame for any author to be loved by children,
generation after generation, long after he himself has left the
scene.
W.A. JONES. _1844._

ABBOTT, JACOB.
A Boy on a Farm.
Edited by Clifton Johnson.
From Rollo at Work and Rollo at Play.
Introduction by Dr. Lyman Abbott.
American Book. .45

Few books axe remembered with greater affection by persons (p. 48)
who were children in the middle of the last century than those
written by Jacob Abbott.... The educational effect of Jacob
Abbott's stories, both mental and moral, was very great.... The
insistence, however, with which these virtues were proclaimed and
emphasized, constitutes a weakness in the books as we view them
now.--_Preface._

Here we have the very saturnalia of common-sense.... These works
are invaluable to fathers; by keeping always one volume in
advance of his oldest son, a man can stand before the household,
an encyclopaedia of every practical art.
THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON.

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator).
Goody Two Shoes.
Lane. .25

The text of this famous tale, attributed to Oliver Goldsmith, is
perhaps somewhat beyond the easy comprehension of children of six
years, but they will enjoy the interesting pictures of Margery and her
animal friends.

SCUDDER, H.E. (Editor).
The Children's Book.
Houghton. 2.50

If a child could have but one story-book, a better choice could
scarcely be made than this storehouse of fables, wonder tales, myths,
songs, and ballads. Selections from Andersen, The Arabian Nights,
Gulliver, and Munchausen, are included. There are many illustrations.
