With a complete index.

By CHARLES LEE LEWIS

_Professor, United States Naval Academy, Annapolis_

"Professor Lewis does not make the mistake of bringing together simply a collection of biographical sketches. In connection with the life of John Paul Jones, Stephen Decatur, and other famous naval officers, he groups the events of the period in which the officer distinguished himself, and combines the whole into a colorful and stirring narrative."--_Boston Herald._

THE CHRISTMAS PORRINGER

This story happened many hundreds of years ago in the quaint Flemish city of Bruges and concerns a little girl named Karen, who worked at lace-making with her aged grandmother.

GABRIEL AND THE HOUR BOOK

"No works in juvenile fiction contain so many of the elements that stir the hearts of children and grown-ups as well as do the stories so admirably told by this author."--_Louisville Daily Courier._

A LITTLE SHEPHERD OF PROVENCE

"The story should be one of the influences in the life of every child to whom good stories can be made to appeal."--_Public Ledger._

PEPIN: A Tale of Twelfth Night

"This retelling of an old Twelfth Night romance is a creation almost as perfect as her 'Christmas Porringer.'"--_Lexington Herald._
