An Old Fashioned Girl/Advertisements
Jean Ingelow's Prose Story Books,
In 4 vols. 16mo, uniformly bound.
STUDIES FOR STORIES FROM GIRLS' LIVES. Illustrated, Price, $1.50.
"A rare source of delight for all who can find pleasure in really good works of prose fiction.… They are prose poems, carefully meditated, and exquisitely touched in by a teacher ready to sympathize with every joy and sorrow."—Athenœum.
STORIES TOLD TO A CHILD. 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 height 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 lesions, 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 Ingelow has, and the story of Jack is as careless and joyous, but as delicate, as a picture of childhood.
"The young people should be grateful to Jean Ingelow and those other noble writers, who, in our day, have taken upon themselves the task of supplying them with literature, if for no other reason, that these writers have saved them from the ineffable didacticism which, till within the last few years, was considered the only food fit for the youthful mind."—Eclectic.
