MR. ARTHUR RACKHAM has been recog- 

 nized for some years as perhaps the foremost living 

 illustrator of imaginative and poetic works. His 

 Grimms ' Fairy Tales was welcomed delightedly on 

 two sides of the Atlantic. Last year his Holiday book 

 was the Rheingold and Valkyrie, and he now 

 completes the Ring by a companion volume, Sieg- 

 fried and Gotterd'ammerung. It will give you a 

 new conception of the great Wagnerian classic. 



Grimms* Fairy Tales: New Popular Edition. 

 Illustrated. Net, $1.50 (postage 15c). Regular 

 Edition, net $6.00 (postage 50c. ) Rheingold 

 and Valkyrie, Siegfried and Gotterdam- 

 merung: Each beautifully illustrated in full 

 colors and black and white. Boxed, net, $5.00. 

 Edition de Luxe limited to 100 copies, net, 

 $15.00 (postage 30c). 



O. HENRY knew how to tell a story. He put 

 into The Gift of the Wise Men the real spirit of 

 Christmas giving — that's what makes the tale so worthy 

 of appearing as a Holiday book. Relyea has caught 

 the genuine sentiment in his pictures and the whole 

 expresses very delightfully the idea that fills most of us 

 at this season of the year. 



Illustrated in colors and decorated by Charles 

 M. Relyea. Fixed price 50c. I postage 8c) 



Our "contemporary ancestors," as some one has 

 aptly called them, are the Southern mountain folk 

 among whom ALICE MORGAN places her Christ, 

 mas story, The Boy Who Brought Christmas. 



" Grover Cleveland," the boy in the case, is as winning 

 a little chap as you will find in a day's reading. 

 There are four very attractive plates in full colors to 

 add charm to the volume. 



Illustrated in colors by John Edwin Jackson. 

 Fixed price, 50c. postage 8c. i. 



Nowhere, says a reviewer, has ERNEST 

 THOMPSON SETON'S double talent for writing 

 and illustrating shown to such good purpose. And it is 

 really difficult to imagine a boy who will not be fascin- 

 ated by this tale of the outdoor adventures of a boy 

 scout as told in Rolf in the Woods. 



Full page illustrations and many marginal 

 drawings by the author. Fixed price, $1.75 

 (postage 15c). 



STEWART EDWARD WHITE'S name no 

 doubt suggests for most of us The Riverman. 

 Well, in his last book, The Adventures of Bobby 



Orde, Mr. White takes up the story of the River- 

 man's son Bobby, and a more engaging little chap 

 could hardly be found. These two books and The 

 Rules of the Game, though quite independent of one 

 another, are yet a sort of trilogy of the Ordes, father 

 and son. Any one who enjoyed The Riverman will 

 like these other tales. The Cabin, by the same 

 author, has proved to be one of the most popular of 

 Mr. White's books on the great out-of-doors. 



The Adventures of Bobby Orde: Illustrated. 

 Fixed price, $1.20 (postage 12c). The Rules 

 of the Game: Illustrated. Fixed price, $1.40 

 (postage 15c). The Cabin: Illustrated. Fixed 

 price, $1.50 (postage 15c). 



Gossip of the 

 Binder's Room 



There is a very human and appealing qual- 

 ity about the essays on things rustic by DAVID 

 GRAYSON. Perhaps it is not quite accurate 

 to call Adventures in Friendship and Adven- 

 ture* in Contentment essays — in the bald 

 sense of the term; they are not stilted or for- 

 mal, but are so many vignettes of rural life, 

 full of humor and pathos and heart's-ease for 

 city-tired folk. A fragrant limp leather bind- 

 ing and two charming plates in full colors by 

 Thomas Fogarty make these two books ideal 

 Holiday gifts. 



Uniformly bound in flexible leather and illus- 

 trated in full colors and in black and white by 

 Thomas Fogarty. Boxed, each $1.50 (post- 

 age 15c.) 



MISS ELLEN GLASGOW, in her Miller 

 of Old Church, has drawn a picture of the 

 new South. She traces the effect of the leaven 

 of democratic principles in a State where 

 traditions are all aristocratic, and in the Mil- 

 ler of Old Church she finds the representative 

 of the newer order. Her characters are flesh 

 and blood and you step into their world at 

 the turn of the first page. It is these con- 

 vincing qualities of realness and naturalness 

 which give Miss Glasgow's tales their in- 

 dividuality and charm. 



Decorated wrapper. Fixed price, $1.35 (post- 

 age 12c) 



The two books by GRACE S. RICHMOND 

 which have made such a universal appeal, 

 On Christmas Day in the Morning and On 

 Christmas Day in the Evening, are now 

 issued in a limp leather Holiday edition. 

 They have page decorations throughout and 

 illustrations in full colors. Mrs. Richmond 

 has added a new volume to her list this year 

 in Strawberry Acres, a charming home story 

 for younger readers. 



On Christmas Day in the Morning. On Christ- 

 mas Day in the Evening: Uniformly bound 

 with illustrations in colors and decorated 

 pages by Charles M. Relyea. Bound in boards, 

 each, fixed price, 50c; in leather, each, 

 fixed price, $1.00 (postage 10c). Strawberry 

 Acres: Illustrated. Fixed price, $1.20 (post- 

 age 12c). 



Two most attractive books for younger 

 readers are The Talking Beasts, a new 

 volume in The Crimson Classics, edited by 

 KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN and NORA 

 ARCHIBALD SMITH, a series of which the 

 literary excellence has never been surpassed ; 

 and The Further Adventures of Nils, a 

 sequel to ..that first fairy book by SELMA 

 LAGERL0F which many have declared to be 

 the best thing since Hans Christian Andersen. 

 The Talking Beasts, a book of Fable Wisdom 

 for Children. A new volume in "The Crim- 

 son Classics Series. " Illustrated. Net, $1.25 

 (postage 12c). Further Adventures of Nils, 

 being a sequel to "The Wonderful Adventures 

 of Nils." Illustrated. Fixed price, $1.20 

 (postage 12c).
