Eleanor Farjeon, 'The Red Apples'
During the last few years, the writing of stories and verse for children has come into its own again, and a growing number of writers of real distinction have devoted themselves largely to this very fascinating branch of literature. Miss Eleanor Farjeon is among this happy band, and her contributions to such periodicals as the Merry-Go-Round and the Joy Street books will be remembered by many discriminating parents. She is, too, the author of two delightful sets of verses - 'The Town Child's Alphabet' and 'The Country Child's Alphabet,' which appeared last year.
