Children's Books - IV
December 4, 1884 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about some children's books. The book "Spinning-Wheel Stories," includes many stories which are full of variety, spirit and good feeling. "Young Folks' History of London" is rather a description than a history, as the historical portion occupies only ten chapters out of twenty-four, the remainder of the volume being really a guide-book. Both parts are written in an attractive style and show the result of intelligent industry. Another two books "Picture-Book of Wild Animals" and Picture-Book of Domestic Animals," are meant for small children as they includes full-size colored prints and woodcuts and many smaller engravings in the letter-press.
