THE GOLDEN WINDOWS. A Book of Fables for Old and Young. By Laura E. Richards, author of “Captain January,” “The Joyous Story of Toto,” etc. Popular Edition, with frontispiece and ornamental initials. 12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.00.
“A charming book of simple but delicately imagined and beautifully written stories,” says the Philadelphia Press of Mrs. Richards’ new book of forty-four fables. The Outlook (New York) says: “There is an original touch in Mrs. Richards’ writing that gives fresh pleasure in this volume. It is fitly named, for the book is a window into a realm as beautiful as it is real.”
THE AWAKENING OF THE DUCHESS. By Frances Charles, author of “In the Country God Forgot,” etc. With illustrations in color by I. H. Caliga. 12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50.
“A charming, tender story of the awakening of a young mother to her true self through the ministrations of her half-forgotten child, told so simply that a child can understand it,” is the Washington Star’s opinion of Miss Charles’s latest story. The Literary News (New York) considers the story “deeply touching in tender sentiment and full of gentle humor. With its tinted illustrations, by I. H. Caliga, and its pretty green and gold covers, the story is a welcome exponent of the gospel of love and tenderness.”
A DAUGHTER OF THE RICH. By M. E. Waller, author of “The Little Citizen,” etc. Illustrated. 12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50.
The Boston Herald says that the author “has the genuine Louisa M. Alcott sympathy with boy and girl life, and the story is replete with interesting conversation and bright incident;” and the St. Louis Globe-Democrat points out that “the author has gotten away from many stereotyped themes, and has introduced as her heroine a little girl—the child of a rich father—who has to leave New York on account of ill health.”
