The One-Eyed Griffin, and other Fairy Tales. A Series of Original Stories by Herbert E. Inman. With numerous Ill.u.s.trations by E.A. Mason.
"This book contains several stories in addition to "The One-Eyed Griffin," which is the chief item among them. This narrative is that of a little boy who enters into the realms of fabulous monsters, where he encounters the giants Can"t, Won"t, and Don"t Care, into whose terrible clutches has fallen the lady of his heart. With the aid of the One-Eyed Griffin he succeeds in overcoming them, and the story succeeds, in allegorical fashion, to detail the difficulties which befall the diminutive hero. The ill.u.s.trations are singularly happy in their delineation of the subject, and will win the affections of the youthful circle for whose benefit the volume has been produced."--_Daily Telegraph._
Icelandic Fairy Tales. By Mrs. A.W. Hall. With Twenty-six Original Ill.u.s.trations from Drawings by E.A. Mason.
"A young reader could scarcely have a more promising introduction to the literature of the Sagas. Sigurd and Frithjof and Ingeborg are not indeed such imposing creatures as they are in the sterner tales; but they are always people whom every child ought to know, and the giants are giants of the proper sort."--_The Scotsman._
The Owl King, and other Fairy Stories. A Series of Original Tales by Herbert E. Inman. With numerous Ill.u.s.trations by E.A. Mason.
"So great is the cry among the little people for a fresh story--one they have not heard before--that it is a relief to be able with "The Owl King" to satisfy for awhile their seemingly insatiable appet.i.te. "The Owl King" will soon, however, become established among the old-time favourites, for a good story once told travels with wonderful swiftness."--_Family Circle._
