BLACK BEAUTY YOUNG FOLKS' EDITION The first place that I can well remember was a pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master's house, which stood by the roadside. While I was young I lived upon my mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold we had a warm shed near the grove...

THE ENCHANTED CASTLE By E. NESBIT The story takes place in England near the beginning of the twentieth century. The Enchanted Castle is not your average fairytale. In fact, it was the first of it's kind. The action is fast-paced and imaginative, ranging from comic to terrifying, from adventurous to mystical.

Three young people, two brothers and a sister, find themselves unable to go home for the school holidays and instead must stay at the girl's school. To avoid boredom they go exploring and come upon what appears to be an enchanted castle... ILLUSTRATIONS BY H. R. MILLAR

It seems to me fair to say that Treasure Island is the only great modern classic written especially for younger readers. I find that girls enjoy Treasure Island just as well as boys. The book stands alone in its wonderfully vivid and dramatic story-telling, which is characterized throughout by an entirely sane and wholesome tone and purpose. In the most subtle manner each character is developed by masterly touches as the story goes on until the living personage is complete.

Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations. Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident. Having this thought in mind, the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out. L. Frank Baum
