4 Bdrrie-Hke Tale

Louis Dodge has produced n book for
children that has more of the qualities
Of !. NJ. Barrie at his tenderest than
anything which has yet been produced
in America. II Is the story Of the dream
in one night Of Il little boy who had to
go to bed alone. as n man should, at
the end of his hfth birthday. The first
chapter tells Of his birthday and the
momeutous announcements and the last
one deals with how ne came down to
breakfast in the morning. In between is
a succession of delightful whimsical ad-
ventures. starting with a trip on the
back of the superstork. TO the sandman's
forest. Mr.. Dodge has made literature
out of bedtime stories for children. II
his book does not become a classic Of
the nursery it will not be because it is
unworthy of such distinction.
