Books for Children

Children should have to buy their own books and so far as possible to buy them with their own money. But it would be an unrewarding experiment to turn a child loose amid the book counters of a department store. He needs a wise consulting expert. Johanna Spyri's children are always good company, satisfactory to young readers and to parents alike. Dutch Fairy Tales are pretty human and these fairly clump along in homely Holland fashion. Fairy stories should really be the property of the whole family. Undoubtedly Arthur Rackham's pictures are ideal illustrations for Grimm's Fairy Tales.
