TW^O DELIGHTFUL BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
Tales of the Red Children
By Abbie Farwell Brown and James Mackintosh Bell. Many unusually fine Illustrations. i2mo, Cloth, $i.oo.
These are some of the tales which the Canadian Indians— the Chippewyans and the Crees and the Ojibways — tell while sitting around the camp fires in the long winter evenings. Some of the stories were gathered by Dr. Bell in the Far North, where white men seldom go. Others were obtained through missionaries and workers among the Canadian tribes. The Chippewyans were once a great and powerful people living in Northern Canada and warring continually with the Eskimos and Crees. Only a remnant of the race is left now, but a few of their stories survive, and these make extremely interesting reading for the boy or girl who likes to know of the men who fought and hunted and roamed the woods and plains long before the white man came to this country.
The Adventures of Little Knight Brave
[fragment illegible in the scan of the first edition]
A story for young folk, in which a little boy goes into an enchanted forest to rescue the little daughter of his king. In this forest he meets with giants and dwarfs, animals that talk to him, and birds and other creatures that help them by their magic to attain his ends over the gnomes and cruel monsters that hold the little princess in their thrall. The story is charming in its fancy and in its sympathy with child nature. It is illustrated with forty drawings in the text in black-and-white, of a most unusual nature, and excellently bringing out the spirit of the tale. This book may be said to be the old-fashioned fairy story with many modern touches.

Mr. Hill, who is known as an absolutely accurate, authentic writer of American history and biography, has planned this book to give in interesting, readable form, suitable for young boys and girls, an accurate account of George Washington, not as a dignified President of the United States, but first as a child in his home, then as a boy in his adventurous surveying expeditions, and finally as a young man fighting with and later commanding troops in the American Revolution.
The Red Caps of Lyons
