TALES FROM BIRDLAND 



By T. GILBERT PEARSON 



Eleven plates and thirty-five text illustrations by Charles Livingston Bull 



THE stories range in setting from the rocky coast of Maine to the barren cactus 

 deserts of Arizona. The subjects of the stories are our familiar friends, Longtoe 

 the Gypsy Robin, Jim Crow, Hardbeart the Gull, the Montclair Kingbird, Robin 

 Hood the Jay, Old Bill Buzzard, the Black Warrior oj the Palisades, the Quail oj Mesquite 

 Canyon, Baldpate the Widgeon, and the Ghosts oj the Lipsey Place, who turn out to be 

 a couple of solemn, monkey-faced owls. Birds act from instinct, and the author has 

 been careful to avoid conveying false ideas about their actions. There is, moreover, 

 no attempt to make the birds talk — with the exception of Jim Crow, and even his vo- 

 cabulary is limited. The human element is added through the inclusion of Billy 

 Strong, old Pete Wagstaff, and many other interesting characters. The illustrations 

 are a most important feature. Charles Livingston Bull is so well known as a Nature 

 artist as to need no further comment than the mention of his name. This is an ideal 

 book for young readers. price, 70 CENTS, POSTPAID
