BORZOI BOOKS
FOR CHILDREN
| A Little Boy Lost | by W. H. Hudson |
| “In its sense of reality and in the unity of childhood with wild nature, I know of no book with which to compare it.... I believe that its appeal will be to children of different ages and to every grown person who has any love of beauty or remembrance of childhood. It is a wonderful book to read aloud to children.”—Annie Carroll Moore in The Bookman. | |
| “Miss Lathrop’s illustrations for ‘A Little Boy Lost’ and for ‘The Three Mulla-Mulgars’ have placed her, at a bound, in the first rank of American imaginative illustrators.”—Chicago Evening Post. | |
| Beautifully illustrated in full color and black and white by Dorothy P. Lathrop. | |
| The Three Mulla-Mulgars | by Walter de la Mare |
| “The story concerns the adventures of three monkeys of royal blood who have left their hut in the African jungle to seek the wonderful kingdom of their Uncle.... A tale of strange creatures and strange landscapes, of adventures and misadventures in faery forests. One of those rare books that everyone will love.”—Chicago Evening Post. | |
| Illustrated in full color and black and white by Dorothy P. Lathrop. | |
| The Forest Beyond the Woodlands | by Mildred Kennedy |
| “A fairy story made up of the ideally right and reliable magic—the bird-song guiding like a silver thread, through a quest that carries us through all manner of portents and crouching perils to rare delights beyond far horizons.... Made doubly delightful by the inclusion of fifteen really extraordinary silhouettes done for the book by Miss Vianna Knowlton.”—Helen Thomas Follett. | |
| The Wonder World We Live In | by Adam Gowans Whyte |
| A book that makes the foundations of real science more thrilling, more romantic, and more simply comprehensible than the usual pseudo-scientific books for children, and that will delight any child whose eyes are opening to the wonders of the world.—Profusely illustrated. | |
| Prince Melody in Music Land | by Elizabeth Simpson |
| “A very delightful book for children. The author has translated much of the dry technique of music lore into a series of connected fairy stories. Children will enjoy while learning.”—Philadelphia Ledger. | |
| Illustrations by Mary Virginia Martin. | |
