THE SEQUEL,

The Second Froggy Fairy Book.

The heroine, Elsie Lee, is first introduced in the preceding volume. ‘‘ It
is a right dainty little piece of children’s fiction, and tells about a remarkable
froggy that wore a dress suit and prefaced all his conversation with ‘Cracky !
cracky !? He came and took Elsie Lee out of her dreams into frog-land, and
there her troubles began. For the Froggy Prince insisted on conducting her
to his palace and formally joining her in holy wedlock. ‘But I can’t marry
you,’ protested Elsie. ‘You’re very nice I know, but then you’re only a frog,
and I’m—a—a~—a person!’ To make the plot thicker, the Hop-toad King and
Froggy the Fiddler are also smitten with Elsie’s charms. It is more than
likely that there would have been some cold amphibian blood shed if things
hadn’t turned out just as they did. But they did, and Mr. Biddleis the man
to thank for the clever story.”’—The Chicago Tribune.
