COLLODI, C. (Pseudonym of Carlo Lorenzini).
Pinocchio, The Adventures of a Marionette.
Illustrated by Charles Copeland.
Ginn. .40

Of all the fairy stories of Italian literature this is the (p. 64)
best known and the best loved.... The Florentines call it a
literary jewel, and as such it should be known to all young
readers.--_Preface._

Though children can but dimly comprehend this charming allegory, they
will recognize its truth. Pinocchio, the wayward and mischievous
marionette, through his kindly actions grows to be a real little boy,
with an unselfish loving heart. There are many attractive drawings.

Illustrated by C.M. Park and Rene Bull.

An acceptable selection in verse. There are illustrations in color (p. 65)

"These fables are much more than they appear--
The simplest animals are teachers here.
The bare dull moral weariness soon brings;
The story serves to give it life and wings."

This first volume of Andrew Lang's colored fairy books contains the
better known tales from the folk-lore of many nations, and is, like

And when the cuckoo clamours six
We put away our games and bricks

And hasten to the shelf where hang
The books of Mr. Andrew Lang.
. . . . . . . . .
And when we read the Red, the Blue,
The Green--small matter what's the hue

Since joy is there in black and white--
Remember him who cared to write,

For little ones, tales old and sweet,
