This is the story of Betsy and her dog. Betsy is a little country girl who, after her mother’s death is taken into the family of her Aunt Kate, a wise and charming person whose duty it is to bring Betsy up properly, while Betsy in turn has to bring up Van, a fox terrier. It is the dog, of course, that proves to be the key to the shy girl’s heart—an extraordinarily nice “pup” whose education is carried on simultaneously with Betsy’s, only along different lines. Both as a dog story and as a girl story The Key to Betsy’s Heart is eminently satisfying, and it is safe to conjecture that there will be many little girls in real life and a few elders, too, who will be delighted with it.
KING ARTHUR AND THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE
Edited by Clifton Johnson. With illustrations in color and in black and white by Rodney Thomson.
This is a very attractive edition of Sir Thomas Malory’s famous book. It has been edited by Clifton Johnson, who has prepared it particularly for children from ten to fifteen years of age. Not only is this one of the golden stories that all boys and girls ought to read—it is one which they will enjoy reading. Mr. Thomson’s illustrations in black and white and in color are spirited and add both to the appearance of the volume, and to the reader’s enjoyment of the text.
