The Adventures of Odysseus.
Illustrated by Charles Robinson.
Dutton. 1.50
It has been our aim in this book to reproduce the substance of
Homer's Odyssey in simple modern English. We have not hesitated
to omit and compress where we thought fit, but we have done our
best to make a faithful translation within our limits, and to
keep what we could of the Homeric spirit.--_Preface._

PYLE, HOWARD.
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.
Illustrated by the Author.
Scribner. 3.00
Henry II and Queen Eleanor, the Lord Bishop of Hereford, the (p. 127)
Sheriff of Nottingham, and Richard of the Lion's Heart, come forth
from the land of mingled fact and fancy, with Robin Hood and his merry
train, and live for us. While the text of this luxurious volume is
dignified and somewhat archaic, children delight in reading it,
nevertheless.
