[Ill.u.s.tration]
Here is a child cla.s.sic reissued in a finer and handsomer form, in response to the persistent demand of those who know the mirth-provoking quality of the exploits of the ingenious small boy named Miltiades Peterkin Paul and spoken of as "a great traveler, although he was small." Whoever has once enjoyed the story of the restless little lad who imitated Don Quixote, and did many other things, is permanently charmed by it.
"This youthful Don Quixote, with his travels and exploits, drives "dull care" away from the elders and delights the juniors."--_Watchman_, _N.Y._
HOME ENTERTAINING
What to Do, and How to Do It
Edited by WILLIAM E. CHENERY
[Ill.u.s.tration]
This book is the product of years of study and the practical trying-out of every conceivable form of indoor entertainment. All the games, tricks, puzzles, and rainy-day and social-evening diversions have been practised by the editor; many are original with him, and many that are of course not original have been greatly improved by his intelligence.
All are told in the plainest possible way, and with excellent taste. The book is well arranged and finely printed. At a low price it places within the reach of all the very best of bright and jolly means of making home what it ought to be--the best place for a good time by those of all ages.
"The book is bright and up to date, full of cheer and sunshine. A good holiday book."--_Religious Telescope_, _Dayton, Ohio._
"For those who want new games for the home this book supplies the _very_ best--good, clean, hearty games, full of fun and the spirit of laughter."--_N.Y. Times._
"Altogether the book is a perfect treasure-house for the young people"s rainy day or social evening."--_New Bedford Standard._
"The arrangement is excellent and the instructions so simple that a child may follow them. A book like this is just the thing for social evenings."--_Christian Endeavor World._
"A book giving the best, cleanest and brightest games and tricks for home entertaining."--_Syracuse Herald._
"The book is clearly written and should prove of value to every young man who aspires to be the life of the party."--_Baltimore Sun._
