 THE CHILDREN'S WEEK : 



SEVEN STORIES FOR SEVEN DAYS. 



By R. W. RAYMOND. 

 Illustrated by H. L. Stephens and Miss M. L. Hallock. 



i vol. i6mo. Cloth, $1. 25. 

 Seven cheery stories with a flavor of the holidays about them. 

 Mr. Raymond's conceptions are ingenious, and while the glimpses of 

 fairy-land and its wonders will open the eyes of the little folk, the 

 book possesses many attractions for older persons in its simple, artis- 

 tic style, and the quaint ideas in which it revels, 



" The book is bright enough to please 

 any people of culture, and yet so simple 

 that children will welcome it with glee." 

 —Cleveland Plaindealer. 



Mr. Raymond's tales have won great 

 popularity by their wit, delicate fancy, 



and, withal, admirable good sense. The 

 illustrations — all new and made for the 

 book — are particularly apt and pleasing, 

 showing forth the comical element of the 

 book and its pure and beautiful senti- 

 ment."— Buffalo (M K.) Commercial
