“The Vellow Fairy Book’ immediately takes place among the leading juve-
nile publications. . . . Mr. Lang’s graceful and prepossessing style presents
these old and yet ever new tales in charming text, and the numerous full-page and
smaller illustrations by H. J. Ford are spirited and in complete harmony with the
stories. . . . Without, it is one of the handsomest and within one of the most
entertaining books the season can produce.’’— 7%mes, Boston,

“Mr. Lang has a positive genius for knowing what will delight his youthful
readers in this sort of literature and his mastery of folklore gives him a great
advantage in the selection of material for his agreeable compilations, . He
is careful not to include anything that can be offensive to good taste or good morals,
and he has got together in this as in former collections, stories that deserve to be
reckoned among the classics. . . . The imaginative element is strong, as ‘it
ought to be, and they have been most felicitously illustrated by H. J. Ford, who
has a marvelous faculty for depicting strange monsters, witch-maidens, lovely
princesses and fearless knights and making them appear like real creatures, Every
healthy child should read fairy tales and cultivate his imagination, which in these
days of scientific education is in danger of total extinction.’’—Zeacon, Boston.

“Tt is rich with marvelous tales, adapted in Mr. Lang’s charming style from
Russian, German, French, Icelandic, and Red Indian folklore, stories that have
their birth in the earliest imaginings of the human race, before knowledge obtained
its destructive sway.’’—/ournal, Chicago,

“As delightful and fascinating as any of its predecessors. . . . And the
pictures—plenty of them, by H. J. Ford—are very charming and appropriate.
The beautifully designed cover is just the thing for such_a book, The boy or
girl who owns a copy is indeed fortunate.”’—Churchman, New York.

“Not less fascinating than its predecessors. . . . The stories are charm-
ingly told and equally charmingly illustrated by Mr. H. J. Ford. ‘ Joan, Toddles
and Tiny,’ to whom the book is dedicated, and their countless brothers and sisters,
will find a rare treat in having these tales réad to them.’’—Oztlook, New York,
