Arnold, Gertrude Weld

"A Mother's List of Books for Children"



HARRIS, J.C.
On the Plantation.
Illustrated by E.W. Kemble.
Appleton. 1.50
This description of a Georgia boy's adventures during the Civil (p. 195)
War gives an unexaggerated picture of plantation life.

NASH, H.A.
Polly's Secret.
Little. 1.50
Polly was a staunch little Maine girl of the long-ago days. She held
an important trust sacred for many years, proving herself of sterling
worth.

PYLE, HOWARD.
The Story of Jack Ballister's Fortunes.
Century. 2.00
This exciting narrative of Colonial days tells of the notorious pirate
Blackbeard and also of the kidnapping and transporting from England to
the Southern colonies which was so common during the first half of the
eighteenth century. A thread of romance runs through the story.

STEVENSON, R.L.
Treasure Island.
Illustrated by Wal Paget.
Scribner. 1.25
Stevenson's fascinating tale of adventure is already a classic.
Nothing of the sort, perhaps, since Robinson Crusoe, has so appealed
to both old boys and young ones.

THANET, OCTAVE (Pseudonym of Alice French).
We All.
Appleton. 1.50
A good picture of boy and girl life on an Arkansas plantation.
