CHRISTMAS BOOKS EXHIBITED IN
YOUTHS SECTION OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
Good Reading Material Is Question VThich Always Arises at Holiday Time Portland Library Authorities Wonld
Serve Public in Guiding Children and Parents to Select Attractive Literature.
FT HODOS MIIXJARD.
TUB question of the best reading for
children Is of perennial Importance.
Many are asking these days about
bo-jks to buy for Christmas: therefore an
exhibit of especially attractive books
suitable for children has been arranged
In tha children's department of the Pub
lic Library and also at the East Side
and Alb ma branches.
Ttiese bouka may arva for the guid
ance of those who are not familiar with
literature for children and are Intended
to help aivd suggest tha books that chil
dren not only will read but are well
worth thrtr while. In ehooalng books
for rhll.lrrn tbare are several considera
tion first and foremost of all perbapa
tha taste of the child should guide one
In the selection of book: then the edi
tions should be tha best, well Illustrated
to train tha child's eye lo the beautiful
la art. the print clear, the paper good
and the binding attractive. Tha books
In the exhibit range from the picture
book for the very small child to the his
torical novel for tha older children.
Every season a most glaring array of
bonk l published, their doubtful merit
being their cheapness, but the Illustra
tion are so bad there la danger lest tha
ihlldren'a naturally correct sense of
rolr should be destroyed. In place of
such books here are the charming vol
umes Illustrated by Kate Ureenaway.
Randolph CaMcott. Walter Crane. Bou
tet de Monvel and many others and
ranging In prl.-e from cents to li. We
wish our children to be truthful, why
not give them plcturea that are true t-
nature, true to act and true to sense?
Caldrcotl and Crane Hooks Arc ChmmI
Soma of the attractive books on dis
play are the Randolph Caldecott and
Walter Crane picture books, published by
Warn at Ii rents In clutti and 2b rents
In paper. Tha drawings In tha Calde
cott boka are full of character and hu
mor. The 'Crane books make an appeal
to the child's aesthetic nature and the
stories sre c!artc fairy tales and nurs
ery rhrme. Tne action, coloring and
Imagination In these picture books are
all IWIghtful and add variety lo the

folks.
The Kate Greens ay picture books
(Warne. 1.T5 are too familiar to need
comment. She had tte magic poser of
turning everything her bru.'h touched
to pure gold. Her lllustrat4ons are so
nuaint and the coloring so dainty.
From tha picture books we come to
tne aiotner vsoose rnymes inai nave i
for children as there Is In the building
of air castles for the older people. In
the collection Is the ever welcome Hans
Christian Anderson's "Fairy Tales,"
translated by Mrs. K. Lucas Pant. S2).
The edition Illustrated by Helen titrat
ion, with an introduction by Edward
E. Hale (Ulpplncott. Ii Is the most
charming. Then the Brother Grimm's
"Fairy Tales. Illustrated by Arthur
Rackham (Ldpplncott. :.60 Is a beau
tiful edition. There Is also a larger
edition published at ii.
Oriental MyMlcWm Seen.
The fairy tales from the Arabian
Nights' entertainments Introduce an
element of Oriental mysticism Into the
child's reading. The new "Arabian
Nights" edited by Kate iHiuglas Wig
gin and Nora Smith is undoubtedly the
moat attractive volume we can offer,
with Its beautiful Illustrations In color
by Maxfleld Parrlsh tSrrlbner. t!.S0.
"The Child's Story of Hans Christian
Andersen." by Paul Harboe (Diiffteld.
11.401 would be a very acceptable gift.
George McDonald's "At the Back of the
North Wind." Illustrated by M. t. Kirk.
Is a good edition of one of the most
absorbing- fairy tales ever written. Mrs.
D. M. Cralk's "Adventures of a
Brownie" (Harper. (0 rents) and the
"Little Lame Prince" Harper. 0 cents)
are also favorites. Charles Klnasley's
"Water Babies" every child should
know. The edition illustrated by Mar
garet Tarrant (Dent. 11.50) I one of
the most beautiful. The one published
by Macraillan. fl. children are very
fond of.
We must not overlook "Alice In Won
derland." by Lewis Carroll. Illustrated
by Kir John Trnnlel (Marmlllan. II).
which Is an unfailing source of joy to
children of all ages, even to 70 years
young. A later edition Is Illustrated
by Arthur Rackham UKubleday. 11.40)
From the fairy tale to the classic
myth Is but a step and there Is no
more delightful example than Nathan

A far higher type of hero la found In
the King Arthur tales, which appeal to
the chivalry and developing manhood
of the boy. Howard Pyle's Is the best
version (Scrlbner. 12.50). although
there are many others In the collec
tion. Mary MiLeods "Knights of the
Hound Table" Is one of tbe most read
able (Wells. 11.2-1.
