THE Waters Of Edera,'' by Ouida. r p
Fenno & Co., New York
This beautiful tale is replete with all
OF the strongest characteristics Of Nine.
de la RANGES strongest work It is
story based upon the devotion of the
Italian peasant to his native soil. and
lays open, as with a literary scalpel. the
rottenness of the governmental system
under which the Italian people today
groan, and which, in horrible satire,
stands for the realization of an Italian
unity. The principal character In the
story is young Italian peasant whose
fathers for three centuries were lords of
the soil of the valley through which the
Edera river ran. His love of that river
is the strong, natural love of an elevated
soul to his birth place and to the home
of his ancestors for generations. When
the Italian government IN carrying out
the purposes OF money-making syndi-.
cate, decides upon turning the course of
the Edera from the valley, it drives this
young peasant, the descendant of the
feuGal lords of Ruscino, who had de-
feated Borgia and yielded only when fire
and sword had wrought the extermina-
tion of them all, save surviving boy of
some months old, to desperate mutiny
Incapable of realizing that the govern
ment might, without regard to his rights,
deprive him of his ancestral home, Adone.
the hero of the story, engages in a revolu-
ton against the government of Humbert,
which drives him to seek his final rest In
the waters of the Edera.
No modern writer can compare with
Ouida in sheer love of nature Much as
her works may be decried, she remains
unapproachable in keen insight into and
an abiding love of nature which keeps
her ever in touch with its most secret
manifestations. There are passages in
this book which will one day be counted
classic, as there are in all her writings.
And the wonder is how so valuable and
so thoroughly entertaining work of lit
erary art as this is could present itself

81. For sale by the St. Paul Book and
Stationery company.
This work represents In handy form
great portion of the history of England
told within Shakespeare's works. As its
title indicates, it deals with the several
kings of England who tand whose careers
are embodied in the immortal works of
the Bard of Avon. !" The author and
compiler takes the several characters
whose biographies he wishes to give, and
who, in most cases, give title to the re-
spective plays. He selects the portions of
the drama which contain the given king
chief words and ideas, Joins them togeth-
er as they stand in the drama, and fills
up with matter, which, with the poetry,
in each case forms continuous story.
Most readers of Shakespeare approach
his works and read them at best in a des-
ultory way. There is seldom thought of
consecutive reading, and,=therefores much

reader of this book will grow familiar
