  BY MRS. BURTON HARRISON. Specimen Illustration, Reduced. Specimen Illustration, Reduced. With 24 full-page Illustrations by Walter Crane. One volume, 12mo, new and cheaper edition, $1.50 "It would be difficult to find a more delightful collection of fairy tales. The children who are fortunate enough to possess 'Bric-a-Brac Stories' will pass their holidays as pleasantly and as profitably as Rigi passed his. The book is illustrated with twenty-four fascinating drawings by Walter Crane." —Boston Herald. "When the little boy, for whose benefit the various articles of bric-a-brac in his father's drawing room relate stories appropriate to their several native countries, exclaims, at the conclusion of one of them: 'I almost think there can't be a better one than that!' the reader, of whatever age, will probably feel inclined to agree with him. Upon the whole, it is to be wished that every boy and girl in America, or anywhere else, might become intimately acquainted with the contents of this book. There is more virtue in one of these stories than in the entire library of modern juvenile literature." —Julian Hawthorne. |
