Rhymes of The Stream and Forest z 
FRANK MERTON BUCKLAND 
One of the freshest, most delightful collections of outdoor verse offered for 
many a day. They are the outpourings of a spirit which loves nature, the woods 
and streams and growing things, and appreciates its charms. 
Mr. Buckland’s verse has a charm that is at once rare and delightful. This 
book will appeal to every outdoor man or woman, and particularly to the “Brethren 
of the Angle.” 
Its form is as attractive as its pages, closely simulating the appearance of the 
standard fly-book, printed on heavy laid paper with ornamental border designs of 
trout flies, pocket for clippings, and blank pages for copying or individual com¬ 
position. It is just the thing for the den, for the pocket, or for a gift to the friend 
who loves the big world out of doors. *
