such truth and sweetness, that we part with him with real regret when the episode is over._" --LOUISA M. ALCOTT. * * * SARA CREWE. SQUARE 8vo, $1.00. [Illustration] "_Everybody was in love with 'Little Lord Fauntleroy,' and I think all the world and the rest of mankind will be in love with 'Sara Crewe.' The tale is so tender, so wise, so human, that I wish every girl in America could read it, for I think every one would be made better by it._" --LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON. * * * LITTLE SAINT ELIZABETH, AND OTHER STORIES. SQUARE 8vo, $1.50. "_The pretty tale has for its heroine a little French girl brought up in an old chateau in Normandy by an aunt who is a recluse and devote. A child of this type transplanted suddenly to the realistic atmosphere of New York must inevitably have much to suffer. The quaint little figure blindly trying to guess the riddle of duty under these unfamiliar conditions is pathetic, and Mrs. Burnett touches it in with delicate strokes._" --SUSAN COOLIDGE. _Illustrated by REGINALD B. BIRCH._ _SCRIBNER'S BOOKS FOR THE YOUNG._ MRS. BURNETT'S THREE FAMOUS JUVENILES. =Uniform in style and Illustrated by R. B. Birch.= _A NEW BOOK FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON._ LITTLE SAINT ELIZABETH AND OTHER STORIES. BY FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT. [Illustration] =With 12 new full-page Drawings by Reginald B. Birch.= _One volume, square 8vo, $1.50._ _FROM SUSAN COOLIDGE:_ "The pretty tale from which the book borrows its name has for its heroine a little French girl brought up in an old chateau in Normandy, by an aunt who is a recluse and _devote_. A child of this type, transplanted suddenly while still in childhood to the realistic atmosphere of prosperous New York, must inevitably have much to suffer. She is puzzled; she is lonely; she has no one to direct her conscience. The quaint little figure, blindly trying to guess the riddle of duty under these unfamiliar conditions, is pathetic, and Mrs. Burnett touches it in with delicate strokes. The stories are prettily illustrated by Birch." * * * * *
