FRANK BAUM In writing "The Daring Twins Series" Mr. Baum yielded to the hundreds of requests that have been made of him by youngsters, both boys and girls, who in their early childhood read and loved his famous "Oz" books, to write a story for young folk of the ages between twelve and eighteen. A story of the real life of real boys and girls in a real family under real conditions. Two Titles: THE DARING TWINS PHOEBE DARING While preparing these books Mr. Baum lived with his characters. They have every element of the drama of life as it begins within the lives of children. The two stories are a mixture of the sublime and the ridiculous; the foibles and fancies of childhood, interspersed with humor and pathos. Price, $1.00 each Publishers The Reilly & Britton Co. Chicago ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BUNTY PRESCOTT AT ENGLISHMAN'S CAMP By MAJOR M. J. PHILLIPS Take a boy away from the stuffy schoolroom and turn him loose away up in the jack pine country--the land of deer and bear and trout, and he will grow "fat and saucy"--as did Bunty. And if he is a wide-awake youngster he will find excitement aplenty--as did Bunty. Give him a rifle, a rod and reel, and a desire to know things, and, well--you have a story every boy will enjoy reading. "Bunty Prescott at Englishman's Camp" is a story full of boy interest, written by a man who knows boys as he knows the woods and streams--a story no youngster can read without learning something new of the lore of out-of-doors--hunting, fishing, camping out. Snappy cover stamped in three colors, and three-color jacket. Illustrated by Emile Nelson. Price $1.00 Publishers The Reilly & Britton Co.
