MR. MATHEWS, who needs no introduc- 

 tion to many thousands of nature lovers, 

 has written a book so sympathetic, so simple, so 

 direct, that it will make an instant appeal to 

 Young People — all of those who are still young 

 at five or fifty, including the wiser ones of High 

 School age. 



The text is in narrative form, and the volume 

 is beautifully illustrated in color by the author, 

 as well as by charming photographs, maps, and 

 musical notations. 



Children are by nature endowed with a love 

 for the birds, and this book with its lightness 

 of touch and deep understanding is sure to 

 stimulate and broaden their interest, and will 

 prove to be a potent factor in their more liberal 

 education.
