my selection, and in all doubtful points of treatment, I have had
resource to the wide knowledge of my friend Mr. Alfred Nutt in all
branches of Celtic folk-lore.... With him by my side I could

The charm and humor of Celtic tradition is conveyed to the reader.
JACOBS, JOSEPH (Editor).
Indian Fairy Tales.
Illustrated by J.D. Batten.
Putnam. 1.75
From all these sources--from the Jatakas, from the Bidpai, and
from the more recent collections--I have selected those stories

children.--_Preface._
KEARY, ANNIE and ELIZA.
The Heroes of Asgard.
Macmillan. .50
This is a rather unattractive little volume, but the myths are so well
told that we feel while reading them that real events of heroic days
are being recounted.
KINGSLEY, CHARLES.
The Heroes.
Illustrated by M.H. Squire and E. Mars.
Russell. 2.50
In these Greek tales Kingsley is at his best for children. He writes
without digression, the language is clear and dignified, and we feel
the spirit of the bygone age of which the story tells.
