Gabriel was a loving, patient, little French lad who assisted the
monks in the long ago days, when all the books were written and
illuminated by hand, in the monasteries. It is a dear little story,
and will appeal to every child who is fortunate enough to read it.
_The Enchanted Automobile_. Translated from the French by MARY J.
SAFFORD.
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated in colors
by Edna M. Sawyer $1.00
The enchanted automobile was sent by the fairy godmother of a lazy,
discontented little prince and princess to take them to fairyland,
where they might visit their old story-book favorites.
Here they find that Sleeping Beauty has become a famously busy
queen; Princess Charming keeps a jewelry shop; where she sells the
jewels that drop from her lips; Hop-o'-My-Thumb is a farmer, too
busy even to see the children, and Little Red Riding Hood has
trained the wolf into a trick animal, who performs in the city
squares.
They learn the lesson that happy people are the busy people, and
they return home cured of their discontent and laziness.
_Beautiful Joe's Paradise_; OR, THE ISLAND OF BROTHERLY LOVE. A sequel
to "Beautiful Joe." By MARSHALL SAUNDERS, author of "Beautiful Joe,"
"For His Country," etc. With fifteen full-page plates and many
decorations from drawings by Charles Livingston Bull.
One vol., library 12mo, cloth decorative $1.50
"Will be immensely enjoyed by the boys and girls who read
it."--_Pittsburg Gazette_.
"Miss Saunders has put life, humor, action, and tenderness into her
story. The book deserves to be a favorite."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
"This book revives the spirit of 'Beautiful Joe' capitally. It is fairly
riotous with fun, and as a whole is about as unusual as anything in the
animal book line that has seen the light. It is a book for
juveniles--old and young."--_Philadelphia Item_.
_'Tilda Jane_. By MARSHALL SAUNDERS, author of "Beautiful Joe," etc.
One vol., 12mo, fully illustrated, cloth, decorative cover, $1.50
"No more amusing and attractive child's story has appeared for a
long time than this quaint and curious recital of the adventures of
that pitiful and charming little runaway.
"It is one of those exquisitely simple and truthful books that win and
charm the reader, and I did not put it down until I had finished
it--honest! And I am sure that every one, young or old, who reads will
be proud and happy to make the acquaintance of the delicious waif.
"I cannot think of any better book for children than this. I commend it
unreservedly."--_Cyrus Townsend Brady_.
_The Story of the Graveleys_. By MARSHALL SAUNDERS, author of "Beautiful
Joe's Paradise," "'Tilda Jane," etc.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated by E.B. Barry $1.50
Here we have the haps and mishaps, the trials and triumphs, of a
delightful New England family, of whose devotion and sturdiness it
will do the reader good to hear. From the kindly, serene-souled
grandmother to the buoyant madcap, Berty, these Graveleys are folk
of fibre and blood--genuine human beings.
