BOOKS FOR OLDER CHILDREN BY L. FRANK BAUM
The Daring Twins Series
By L. 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.

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
