The mother sits and sings her baby to sleep; here is one of the
very best opportunities for the right literature at the right
time.
Mrs. H.L. ELMENDORF.
LANG, ANDREW (Editor).
The Nursery Rhyme Book.
Illustrated by L. Leslie Brooke.
Warne. 1.50
An exceptional collection of the ancient rhymes, songs, charms, and
lullabies, accompanied by interesting pictures.
"In Mr. Halliwell's Collection, from which this volume is
abridged, no manuscript authority goes further back than the
reign of Henry VIII, though King Arthur and Robin Hood are
mentioned.... Thus our old nursery rhymes are smooth stones from
the book of time, worn round by constant friction of tongues long
silent."
STEVENSON, R.L.
A Child's Garden of Verses.
Illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith.
Scribner. 2.50
It is generally admitted that no one has comprehended and written from
the child's point of view as did Stevenson. This volume should be
among the first to be put into the hands of our little ones. (p. 30)
Besides the black and white text illustrations there are twelve
full-page pictures in color, all by Jessie Willcox Smith.
