Master Skylark.
Century. 1.50
A sweet fresh tale of the days when Will Shakspere trod the boards.
Little Nicholas Attwood joins a company of actors, and the head

Scribner. 1.25

characters were real people; and almost all the incidents which
here befall the Boy Emigrants came under my own observation, or
under that of people whom I knew on the trail or in California.
