ches of Celtic folk-lore.... With him by my side I could
venture into regions where the non-Celt wanders at his own
risk.--_Preface._

The charm and humor of Celtic tradition is conveyed to the reader.

Indian Fairy Tales.

Putnam. 1.75

From all these sources--from the Jatakas, from the Bidpai, and
from the more recent collections--I have selected those stories
which throw most light on the origin of fable and folk-tales, and
at the same time are most likely to attract English
children.--_Preface._

KEARY, ANNIE and ELIZA.
The Heroes of Asgard.
Macmillan. .50

This is a rather unattractive little volume, but the myths are so well
told that we feel while reading them that real events of heroic days
are being recounted.

KINGSLEY, CHARLES.
The Heroes.
Illustrated by M.H. Squire and E. Mars.
Russell. 2.50

In these Greek tales Kingsley is at his best for children. He writes
without digression, the language is clear and dignified, and we feel
the spirit of the bygone age of which the story tells. Many of the
illustrations are in color.

KINGSLEY, CHARLES. (p. 82)
The Water-Babies. A Fairy Tale for a Land-Baby.
Illustrated by Linley Sambourne.
Macmillan. 1.25

This original and charming story is in some parts rather over the
heads of children, and a few of the incidents seem gruesome to the
compiler. For this reason it is better to read the book to the child,
so that these portions may be omitted.

LAGERLOeF, S.O.L.
The Wonderful Adventures of Nils.
Doubleday. 1.50

Selma Lagerloef, the foremost writer of Swedish fiction, in response to
a commission to prepare a reader for the public schools, devoted three
years to nature study, and to seeking out hitherto unpublished
folk-lore and legends of the different provinces. The result, of which
we have as yet only the first volume, is this remarkable book. Bad
cruel Nils is transformed into an elf, and on the back of a
goosey-gander, Thumbietot, as he is now called, visits distant
regions, and learns kindness to his animal brothers.
