their readers great pleasure, at the same time."--_Philadelphia (Pa.)
Times,_ May 16th, 1897.

The following list of interesting books was forwarded to us by a kind
young friend. EDITOR.


DEAR EDITOR:

I like THE GREAT ROUND WORLD very much.

I will name some books, so that others may read them. "Timothy's
Quest" and "A Summer in a Cañon" are very pretty stories by Kate
Douglas Wiggin.

"The Mysterious Island," "Abandoned," and "The Secret of the
Island" are a set of books by Jules Verne. "The Fir Country,"
"Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea," and "In Search of the
Castaways" are all by him.

"A New Alice in the Old Wonderland" is by Anna M. Richards, Jr.
From an affectionate reader,

ANNA H.
