About This Book

The collection gathers illustrated short stories aimed at young readers that portray life on the frontier and in small communities through episodic adventures and domestic incidents. Narratives follow resourceful children and neighborhood figures as they cope with hardship, mischief, self-reliance, and acts of neighborly compassion; set pieces include miner families adjusting after loss, boys playing at Indians and building wigwams, schoolboy exploits, a bear hunt, and everyday inventions like a printing press. Tone shifts between jocular and tender, and each story is self-contained, emphasizing practical ingenuity, community bonds, and childhood perspective.

PINE CONES.

Bound in cloth, gilt, with pine-bough design.

FULLY ILLUSTRATED.

Those who begin to lay in their stock of Christmas books early should remember Pine Cones, which will delight the heart of many a boy and girl during the holidays.—Boston Transcript.

Mr. Willis Boyd Allen is already known to the readers of the Sunday-school Times as one of our best writers of stories for children. His style is marked by a simplicity, naturalness and lack of sensationalism; and his stories move with the freedom of boyish nature and of the open air.—Sunday-school Times.

A decidedly bright book—sweet and pure as the pine woods themselves. It is a story of city boys and girls spending the Christmas holidays with Uncle Will, away down in the Maine woods. Such delightful times as they have, even if they did have to camp out in the woods all the first night!—Golden Rule.

Pine Cones is enlivened by tales of sea and land, sometimes humorous, sometimes pathetic, and always interesting.—Portland Transcript.

Profusely illustrated, and brimful of incident, adventure and fun.—Wide Awake.

A charming book of adventures, written in a bright and fascinating style.—Journal of Education.

It is good, wholesome reading that will make boys nobler and girls gentler. A breezy, joyous, entertaining book.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Little Folks' Every Day Book.

RHYMES AND ILLUSTRATIONS FOR EVERY DAY.

MAY 18th.




A song of a nest:—
There was once a nest in a hollow;
Down in the mosses and knot-grass pressed,
Soft and warm, and full to the brim.

MAY 19th.




"Good night!" said the hen, when her supper was done,
To Fanny who stood in the door,
"Good night," answered she, "come back in the morn,
And you and your chicks shall have more."

MAY 20th.




There's a merry brown thrush sitting up in the tree,
"He's singing to me! He's singing to me!"
And what does he say, little girl, little boy?
"Oh, the world's running over with joy."
