LANG, ANDREW (Editor).
The Blue Fairy Book.
Longmans. 2.00
This first volume of Andrew Lang's colored fairy books contains the
better known tales from the folk-lore of many nations, and is, like
the others of this series, attractively illustrated.
And when the cuckoo clamours six
We put away our games and bricks
And hasten to the shelf where hang
The books of Mr. Andrew Lang.
. . . . . . . . .
And when we read the Red, the Blue,
The Green--small matter what's the hue
Since joy is there in black and white--
Remember him who cared to write,
For little ones, tales old and sweet,
And ask the fairies (when you meet)
To always keep unharmed and well
From ogre's maw and witch's spell,
From genie's clutch and dragon's fang,
The kind magician, Andrew Lang!

The Adventures of a Brownie.
Harper. .60
"Only I think, if I could be a little child again, I should
exceedingly like a Brownie to play with me. Should not you?"
We should all say yes, after reading this charming modern fairy story.
