Illustrated by twenty-four color plates and over forty half-tones of the pictures under discussion. Boxed.Net $3.00The Art of Story-TellingBy JULIA DARROW COWLESOut of her broad experience and love for the work, Miss Cowles tells how the art can be made to minister the highest service. She describes story-telling in the home and in the school, and treats at length of different kinds of stories—fables, myths, hero tales, Bible, and many other kinds which may delight and help the children. Parents, teachers, and others who would use this art most profitably and happily, will find here just what they want.Net $1.00Gerhart Hauptmann: His Life and WorkBy KARL HOLLGerhart Hauptmann is as yet only known to English readers by some of his works, although since he obtained the Nobel Prize for literature, English and American interest in his work has increased.
