STORIES TOLD TO A CHILD . Second Series . Illustrated . Price , $ 1.25 . `` This is one of the most charming juvenile books ever laid on our table . Jean Ingelow , the noble English poet , second only to Mrs. Browning , bends easily and gracefully from the heights of thought and fine imagination to commune with the minds and hearts of children ; to sympathize with their little joys and sorrows ; to feel for their temptations . She is a safe guide for the little pilgrims ; for her paths , though ` paths of pleasantness , ' lead straight upward . '' -- Grace Greenwood in `` The Little Pilgrim . '' A SISTER 'S BYE-HOURS . Illustrated . Price , $ 1.25 . `` Seven short stories of domestic life by one of the most popular of the young authors of the day , -- an author who has her heart in what she writes , -- Jean Ingelow . And there is heart in these stories , and healthy moral lessons , too . They are written in the author 's most graceful and affecting style , will be read with real pleasure , and , when read , will leave more than momentary impressions . '' -- Brooklyn Union . MOPSA THE FAIRY . A Story . With Eight Illustrations . Price , $ 1.25 . `` Miss Ingelow is , to our mind , the most charming of all living writers for children , and ` Mopsa ' alone ought to give her a kind of pre-emptive right to the love and gratitude of our young folks .
It requires genius to conceive a purely imaginary work which must of necessity deal with the supernatural , without running into a mere riot of fantastic absurdity ; but genius Miss XXXXX has , and the story of Jack is as careless and joyous , but as delicate , as a picture of childhood .
