THE crystalline simplicity of When
Il We We're Little: Children's Rhymes
of Oyster Bay, by Mary Fanny YOungs,
is so winning that the book hardly needs
the additional interest of Theodore Roose-
velts graceful and cordial foreword or
the intimate pictures Of his children in the
midst of pretty home scenes The author
herself lived In the old gray house in the
cove which forms the frontispiece, though
her childhood had passed before the Saga
more Hill children became Gan active and
well loved part" of the community.
Miss Youngs seems to draw up all these
fresh and sparkling memories as easily as
a child fills a tin cup at a mountain
stream. The numberless little things that
pass across a child's sky are mirrored as
in clear water that has never been ruffied
by unangelic troublings. IF this is the re-
suit of the primitive life and service of
Oyster Bay we should like to live there.
1t may be only an idealizing recollection
that makes squeaky chairs and banty hens
and horsefoot grabbing and even the old
fashioned Sunday seem delightful. No
matter what makes the natural little
rhymes pleasant reading, we gladly com
mend them for the refreshmeat they offer
to any unspoiled reader.
For Days and Days, A Year Round
Treasury of Verse for Children, is the
proud possessor of an introduction by
William Stanley Braithwaite, IN which he
gives the author fourth place among inter-
prefers of child life, thus-Lewis Car
roll, Robert Louis Stevenson, Eugene
Field and Annette Wynne. Well, may
beso, but more likely Mr.. Braithwaite has
let his enthusiasm run away with him and
taken Miss Wynne along. Possibly "fu-
ture generations viii cherish this book
as a classic" but we doubt it. If Clara
Doty Bates's exquisite work for children
has already been forgotten is it not prob
able that Annette Wynne will share her
fatef
Why not say truthfully and simply that
this is sweet and mildly diverting collee-
ton of verses, in no way remarkable e1-
cept for their friendliness and profusion.
