RIVER-
Robert W Chambers This delightful book tells about the animals living in and around the streams, and the same attractive plan is followed as in Mr. Chambers’s “Orchard land” and “Outdoorland”—that is, the animals tell their own stories to Peter and Geraldine, two little children. The plan of these nature books is an original and valuable one, and has proved most successful. Miss Green’s pictures alone insure a wide popularity for the volume. With 8 Full-page Colored Illustrations |
