_Volume III_
This volume contains selections from several books which it is felt will be read in their entirety by most children. They are:
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLa.s.s.
Two modern fairy tales by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). The amusing pictures are by Sir John Tenniel. The Macmillan Company. These fantastic stories delight everyone who reads them.
ROBINSON CRUSOE, by _Daniel Defoe_.
There are many editions of this old and popular story for boys, from an abbreviated form in words of one syllable to the original work in full. W. H. Lambert has edited a school edition in excellent manner for Ginn & Co.
THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, by _Johann Rudolph Wyss_.
Though not of such literary merit as _Robinson Crusoe_, it is similar in plot and usually more popular. Ginn & Co. publish a good, cheap edition, edited by J. H. Stickney.
ARABIAN NIGHTS' ENTERTAINMENT.
The complete editions are not suitable for children to read, but the edition edited by Andrew Lang is excellent. Several schoolbook houses publish good selections, including the most popular tales.
Besides the books mentioned in the lists for Volumes I and II, the following might be suggested here:
THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS of _John Greenleaf Whittier_.
Houghton, Mifflin Company's Cambridge edition is perhaps the best. Whittier did not write as much for children as Longfellow did, but his _Snow-Bound_ is a cla.s.sic that every child will love if he is helped a little in reading it. Other poems will appeal to the older members of the family.
