=A STORY OF THE GOLDEN AGE.=
With a series of superb Full-page Illustrations by HOWARD PYLE.
=One volume, 12mo, $1.50.=
"Mr. Baldwin's book is redolent with the spirit of the Odyssey, that
glorious primitive epic, fresh with the dew of the morning of time. It
is an unalloyed pleasure to read his recital of the adventures of the
wily Odysseus, slightly expurgated though it be, and adapted for the
intelligence of youthful minds. Howard Pyle's illustrations render the
spirit of the Homeric age with admirable felicity."
--_Prof. H. H. Boyesen._
"Mr. Baldwin's work here as in 'Siegfried' and 'Roland' is of
exceptional merit, and is to be classed with the 'Tanglewood Tales' of
Hawthorne rather than with the average story for the young. Mr. Pyle has
furnished the volume with a dozen drawings of great artistic excellence
and of genuinely illustrative character."
