ant girl of Domremy, martyr and patron saint, lives (p. 60)
for children. The book is a large oblong one with full-page
illustrations in color. While the text is somewhat advanced for
children of eight years, the pictures really tell, the story.

EGGLESTON, EDWARD.
Stories of Great Americans for Little Americans.
American Book. .40

A collection of many noted tales with which all of our children should
be familiar. It includes Franklin's Whistle, Putnam and the Wolf, and
Daniel Boone and his Grapevine Swing.

MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES

Even John Locke (1632-1704), in his Thoughts on Education (1693),
recommends, besides the Psalter and the New Testament, AEsop and
Reynard the Fox, as good food for infant minds. This was an
excellent basis to start upon.

ADVENTURES OF REYNARD THE FOX.
Edited by W.T. Stead.
Review. .05

There is no entirely satisfactory edition, for children, of this
classic. The language of one edited by Jacobs seems to the compiler of
this list somewhat unsuited to small people, and E.L. Smythe in her
version substitutes an entirely different ending for that of the (p. 61)
original. This very inexpensive little book has more than a hundred
interesting small pictures, and children will love to read of bad
Reynard, who is told about in diverting fashion.

AESOP.
The Fables of AEsop.
Edited by Joseph Jacobs.
Illustrated by Richard Heighway.
Macmillan. 1.50

It is difficult to say what are and what are not the Fables of
AEsop.... In the struggle for existence among all these a certain
number stand out as being the most effective and the most
familiar. I have attempted to bring most of these into the
following pages.--_Preface._

Children cannot read an easier, nor men a wiser book.

BROWN, A.F.
The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts.
Houghton. 1.25

These sweet tales of the saints of long ago and their little brothers
the beasts have a gentle influence. The stories include that of Saint
Bridget and the King's Wolf, Saint Fronto's Camels, Saint Rigobert's
Dinner, and Saint Francis of Assisi.

In the Days of Giants.
