GILBERT PEARSON Eleven plates and thirty-five text illustrations by Charles Livingston Bull THE stories range in setting from the rocky coast of Maine to the barren cactusdeserts of Arizona. The subjects of the stories are our familiar friends, Longtoethe Gypsy Robin, Jim Crow, Hardbeart tbe Gull, tbe Montclair Kingbird, RobinHood tbe Jay, Old Bill Buzzard, the Black Warrior of the Palisades, the Quail of MesquiteCanyon, Baldpate the Widgeon, and the Ghosts of the Lipsey Place, who turn out to bea couple of solemn, monkey-faced owls. Birds act from instinct, and the author hasbeen careful to avoid conveying false ideas about their actions. There is, moreover,no attempt to make the birds talk—with the exception of Jim Crow, and even bis vo-cabulary is limited. The human element is added through the inclusion of BillyStrong, old Pete Wagstaff, and many other interesting characters. The illustrationsare a most important feature. Charles Livingsto
