The Twinkle Tales, comprising six
exquisite volumes under the titles of
Bandit Jim Crow" "Mr. Woodchuck," :"
"Prairie-Dog Town. '"Twinkle's En-
chantment," "Sugar-Loaf Mountain"
and prince Mud-Turtle,' each one a
delightful story for children. by Laura
Bancroft are a splendid addition to
this seasons literature for little tots
Miss Bancroft has a subtle vein of
humor and her stories. while fanciful
are near to nature. Taking Bandit
Jim Grow" for an example of this clever
series, here is a story not only fascinat-
ing in itself but true to nature 1t is a
well known fact that the crow is rob-
ber bird and is a nuisance to the feath-
cred tribe as well as to the farmer. He
robs birds nests and devours the eggs
and III most instances is a genuine
bully. However, there is one particu-
lar bird of the forest, the bluejay, which
is a veritable policeman so far as the
crow is concerned. The bluejay not
only sounds q thrilling alarm at the
approach of a crow, but also attacks
him violently and always succeeds in
driving the pest away. Now, crows are
shrewd birds and usually do their fiend-
ish work when there is the least chance
of discovery, or when the danger to
themselves is least apparent. This par
ticular crow, Bandit Jim," of which
Miss Bancroft writes was more than
ordinarily shrewd. The way Police
man Bluejay handles him. aided by
hundreds of other smaller birds, is
most exciting reading for the children
and III all cases the little tot feels cer-
tain that the crow gets his just deserts,
But the moral of the story displaces all
resentment toward the bandit, who,
battered and almost featherless, is fed
by the kind hearted birds until he is
well and able to fly away, wiser and
better crow. For this series Magine
Enright has made over 100 special
drawings which are admirably suited
to the text. Each of the books con-
tains fifteen full pages colored illus
tTations and a multi-colored title page.
