Arnold, Gertrude Weld

"A Mother's List of Books for Children"


KEATS.

HIGGINSON, T.W.
Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic.
Illustrated by Albert Herter.
Macmillan. 1.50
Hawthorne, in his Wonder Book, has described the beautiful (p. 152)
Greek myths and traditions, but no one has yet made similar use of
the wondrous tales that gathered for more than a thousand years
about the islands of the Atlantic deep.... The order of the tales
in the present work follows roughly the order of development,
giving first the legends which kept near the European shore, and
then those which, like St. Brandan's or Antillia, were assigned
to the open sea or, like Norumbega or the Isle of Demons, to the
very coast of America.... Every tale in this book bears reference
to some actual legend, followed more or less closely.--_Preface._

LAMB, CHARLES.
The Adventures of Ulysses.
Illustrated by M.H. Squire and E. Mars.
Russell. 2.50
Intended to be an introduction to the reading of Telemachus; it
is done out of the Odyssey, not from the Greek. I would not
mislead you; nor yet from Pope's Odyssey, but from an older
translation of one Chapman.
