Boys love to
read of his pranks and pleasures.
LUCAS, E.V.
Anne's Terrible Good Nature, and Other Stories for Children.
Macmillan. 1.75
The atmosphere of these eleven tales is decidedly English, but they
are so unusually good that our children will read them with enjoyment
notwithstanding the unfamiliar setting. The Thousand Threepenny Bits,
The Anti-Burglars, and the uncommonly funny one called The Monkey's
Revenge, are among the number.
MARRYAT, FREDERICK.
Masterman Ready.
Illustrated by Fred Pegram.
Macmillan. 1.50
As children we parents learned to love old Masterman, the faithful (p. 137)
and resourceful friend of the good Seagraves. Even now our eyes grow a
little misty as we think of his brave death.
Marryat began a continuation of The Swiss Family Robinson for his
children, at their request, but its geographical anachronisms were too
much for him, and he decided to write this story instead. No one will
find fault with the change of plan.
MORRISON, S.E.
Chilhowee Boys.
Crowell. .75
This account of pioneer days is essentially true, having been gathered
from family records which tell how, in 1811, "Parson Craig," with his
wife, six children, and a number of friends, made the four-hundred-mile
journey from North Carolina into Tennessee.
