--_Introduction._
All children should have the opportunity to know and to love Uncle
Remus, as they cannot fail to do if they are familiar with his
narratives. The Negro dialect often makes it desirable to have these
read aloud.
HAWTHORNE, NATHANIEL.
Tanglewood Tales.
Houghton. .75
In this second Wonder Book Hawthorne again tells us in simple language
of great heroes of Greek mythical days. The Minotaur, the Pygmies, The
Dragon's Teeth, Circe's Palace, The Pomegranate Seeds, and The Golden
Fleece, comprise the contents of the volume.
HODGSON, GERALDINE.
Rama and the Monkeys.
Illustrated by W.H. Robinson.
Macmillan. .50
In fine and picturesque language, retained from the Indian original,
Geraldine Hodgson has given us this adaptation from the Ramayana. We
learn, with delight, to know the monkey hosts: "Hanuman, that strong,
forgiving, wise, brave, and humble Ape," and "Sugriva, that best (p. 102)
of Monkeys."
KIPLING, RUDYARD.
The Jungle Book.
Century. 1.50
Telling of Mowgli, the child of the jungle, and his brethren, the wild
creatures of the forest; together with other marvellous animal
stories.
"Oh, hear the call!--Good hunting all
That keep the Jungle Law!"
