The National Review Treasury of Classic Children’s Literature, Volume Two is a beautiful book, in looks, in production value, but much much more so in the outstanding quality of its contents: over 500 pages bursting with stunning writing (“marvelous” says Catholic Parent magazine; “some of the best stories for kids ever published” sings Faith and Family) that every child should be so lucky to read. Just look at some of its many highlights
* Rudyard Kipling’s two superlative adventures, The King’s Ankus (one of his delightful “Mowgli” stories) and Toomai of the Elephants,
* Louisa May Alcott’s two beautiful stories, The Blind Lark and Daisy’s Jewel-Box and How She Filled It
* Jack London’s exciting novel-length fiction, The Cruise of “The Dazzler,”
* Frances Hodgson Burnett’s enchanting short stories (illustrated by the great Harrison Cady)–The Troubles of Queen Silver-Bell and The Cozy Lion,
* Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer, Detective (the last great yarn featuring Tom, Huck, and Jim),
* plus three more novel-length stories, each one a tremendous feat of writing: Julia Truitt Bishop’s Another Chance, Marion Ames Taggart’s The Wyndham Girls, and Adeline Knapp’s action-packed The Boy and the Baron,
* plus more stories–there are 38 in all–by L. Frank Baum, Thornton Burgess, Joel Chandler Harris, Howard Pyle, Ellis Parker Butler, Palmer Cox (three of his charming “Brownies” poems are here), and many more great writers.
