MASTER VALENTINE BUCKET. Valentine Bucket was a new 

 boy, but not the ordinary retiring sort of new boy. They all thought

 he was nothing of the sort, and made the whole school " sit up and take 

 notice " from the " Dominus " downwards, especially the school bully. 



Lew Wallace

 Hur in the East at the time of the birth of Christ, and the beginnings

Louisa M. Alcott 



LITTLE WOMEN. This is one of the most delightfully homelike books 

 for girls which have ever been written. The character of Jo is drawn 

 very vividly, and we all grow to love the torn-boyish girl who manages 

 to get into so many scrapes and awkward positions and then get out of 

 them cleverly. 



LITTLE WOMEN WEDDED. This is a continuation of the life of 

 " Little Women." Meg, happily married at the beginning of the book, 

 experiences the many trials and amusing difficulties of a young wife. As 

 the book draws to a close we see the " Little Women " changed into 

 " Good Wives " and all ends happily.
