PYLE, HOWARD. (p. 84)
The Wonder Clock.
Illustrated by the Author.
Harper. 2.00
Any undertaking of Mr. Pyle's is a guarantee of distinction in
material, style, and production, and these four and twenty fairy
tales, one for each hour of the day, are no exception. The
illustrations are among the author's best, and Miss Katharine Pyle
supplies charming little verses for the different hours.
VALENTINE, L. (J.) (Editor).
The Old, Old Fairy Tales.
Warne. 1.50
The tales contained in this volume have been the delight of many
generations of children, and can, in fact, claim a very distant
origin, though they were retold in their present form as late as
the age of Louis XIV. They are generally supposed to have come
from the East, for they are to be found in varied forms in all
the countries of Europe that sent forth Crusaders.... As children
always like stories to be retold in the same words as far as
possible, these tales have not been rewritten (except in two
cases); the original translations in their quaint simplicity have
been collected, and merely corrected so far as to meet the modern
ideas of the kind of tale to be given to children; the old ones
being occasionally a little coarse.
