_One volume, 12mo, $2.00_

"About Professor Boyesen's writings there is a freshness which, while it
retains the Norse flavor of Andersen, is modern rather than antiquely
quaint. One readily recognizes the fact that the author is a Norseman
reciting in English the tales and legends of his land, and not
addressing the children of his own country in their own language. Every
page is full of vigor and spirit. The boys and girls are not myths, but
are full of life and action. While the stories are addressed to the
young, their character is such that older people will not fail to be
interested in them."

BRIC-A-BRAC STORIES.

BY MRS. BURTON HARRISON.

=With 24 full-page Illustrations by Walter Crane.=

_One volume, 12mo, new and cheaper edition, $1.50_

"It would be difficult to find a more delightful collection of fairy
tales. The children who are fortunate enough to possess 'Bric-a-Brac
Stories' will pass their holidays as pleasantly and as profitably as
Rigi passed his. The book is illustrated with twenty-four fascinating
drawings by Walter Crane."
--_Boston Herald._

"When the little boy, for whose benefit the various articles of
bric-a-brac in his father's drawing room relate stories appropriate to
their several native countries, exclaims, at the conclusion of one of
them: 'I almost think there can't be a better one than that!' the
reader, of whatever age, will probably feel inclined to agree with him.
Upon the whole, it is to be wished that every boy and girl in America,
or anywhere else, might become intimately acquainted with the contents
of this book. There is more virtue in one of these stories than in the
entire library of modern juvenile literature."
