On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now,
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
SHAKSPERE.
ANDERSEN, H.C.
Stories.
Houghton. .60
The tales in this excellent little edition are well chosen.
A prime advantage in an early acquaintance with Andersen springs
from the stimulus which his quaint fancy gives to the budding
imagination of childhood. It may be said without exaggeration
that Andersen truly represents creative childhood in literature.
H.E. SCUDDER.
ASBJOeRNSEN, P.C.
Fairy Tales from the Far North.
Translated by H.L. Braekstad.
Nutt. 2.00
"The author, a distinguished Norwegian student of folk-lore (p. 78)
and zooelogy, made long journeys on foot for scientific purposes,
in the course of which he collected, among others, these popular
stories and legends. Mr. Braekstad in his translation endeavors
to retain the atmosphere of the original."
FRANCILLON, R.E.
Gods and Heroes.
Ginn. .40
It will be seen that the Mythology adopted throughout is strictly
of the old-fashioned kind which goes to Ovid as its leading
authority, and ignores the difference between the gods of Greece
and the gods of Rome.
