ATTRACTIVE FAIRY TALES 



NIXON -ROULET'S JAPANESE FOLK STORIES 

 AND FAIRY TALES 40 cents 



THIS is intended for supplementary reading in the 

 fourth and fifth years. It is a collection of thirty- 

 four popular stories from the mythology and folk-lore 

 of Japan, few of which have ever before been told in English. 

 They are here retold in a simple and pleasing manner, which 

 is well adapted to interest children in the strange and un- 

 familiar fairy tales of the Land of the Rising Sun. A note- 

 worthy feature of the book is that each story is illustrated 

 by a full-page picture drawn by a Japanese artist, lending a 

 peculiar charm to the volume, and distinguishing it as some- 

 thing new in school book literature. 



DAVIS AND CHOW LEUNG'S CHINESE FABLES 

 AND FOLK STORIES 40 cents 



ADAPTED for the third and fourth years of school. It 

 has hitherto been an accepted belief that Chinese 

 " literature does not possess the fable, and, con- 

 sequently, the examples given in this book, which are 

 familiar to the children of China, are of special interest. 

 In retelling these delightful stories of Chinese home and 

 school life, the authors have been most successful in preserv- 

 ing their original color and charm. The tales show the differ- 

 ent phases of Oriental character and habits of thought, and 

 will help toward a better understanding and appreciation of 

 Chinese character. The illustrations are from drawings by 

 native artists.
