In this country and in Great Britain over 250,000 copies have been sold of “Helen’s Babies,” and it is safe to say that more than half a million of readers are eagerly waiting for the narrative of the further haps and mishaps of those irresistible youths, “Budge” and “Toddie.”
“A new book from the pen of Mr. Habberton, while not an unlooked for event, for the reason that he has published so much within the past few years that his wealth of resource is proverbial and his industry almost as remarkable as was that of either Budge or Toddie, is nevertheless a very welcome one. Mr. Habberton has written himself into the good graces of the public, and with each new venture he finds a still warmer welcome than the last received.
“The contents consists of a number of stories, of various lengths, on every imaginable subject, grave, gay and pathetic, and there is such a supply of each that all readers will find something to their satisfaction. Already large editions have been sold, and the demand grows with the knowledge learned from those who have read it that it is the best book this author has put forth.”
Elegantly printed and illustrated, bound in cloth, price, $1.50; also a paper covered edition, price, $1.00.
Sold everywhere and sent by mail on receipt of price.
