“ ‘Aunt Jimmy’s Will’ is, I think, one of the most engaging stories for young girls that has appeared this year …; it is, in fact, the best-constructed narrative Mrs. Wright has produced, and Bird O’More is her most captivating heroine.”—The Toronto Globe.
“It’s such a charmingly natural little story about natural folks and by no means unnatural doings that there is little doubt of its making many friends among young people—among older ones, too, for that matter, as this is one of the stories for young folk that readers of maturer years like well to take a dip into … a very interesting and entertaining drama of common folk.”—The Boston Transcript.

A story of singular adventures in the Mesa Country
By ERNEST INGERSOLL
Author of “Wild Neighbors,” “The Ice Queen,” etc.
Illustrated with a frontispiece in colors, full-page half-tones, and many drawings in the text.
Cloth 12mo $1.50
A story of real adventure on the real frontier,—the Far West of fifty years ago, when life was large and free, with game for the shooting; with bears and wolves and cougars; with Indians and soldiers and emigrant trains, and all the picturesque furniture of a land of promise for healthy sport. It was neither sport nor romance, however, that these young people—boys and girls—were in search of down there on the borders of the Navajo country—they came because they had to. Nothing was further from their minds than to get separated from their elders by a strange yet perfectly natural accident, and to find themselves marooned upon a desert island in a sea of blue air, and then to get away by aid of a lot of Mokis, dead and alive. But so it happened; and being brave, resourceful, and jolly, the youngsters met their adventures halfway, acquitted themselves with credit, and so escaped from difficulties which might have daunted older heads and hands.
The Phœnix and the Carpet
By E. NESBIT
With illustrations by H. R. Millar
Cloth 12mo $1.50
E. Nesbit is one of the most delightful writers for children of the present day. The five children in “The Phœnix and the Carpet” are as real and genuine and delightful as any to be met in modern literature. Unrolling a strip of carpet bought by mother, they found a curious egg. Robert dropped it into the fire! it blazed up, cracked, and out of it came a flame-colored bird which announced to the children that it was the Phœnix. The carpet, it further told them, was the famous magic carpet, that takes you anywhere you wish. Immediately begin adventures. Under the guidance of the genial and informing Phœnix, the children cross to France on the wishing carpet. Later, the cook wishes them in the South Sea Islands, where she reigns as queen; at another time they have adventures in India. Through it all, they are healthy, lively, full of fun, good humor, and ideas.
