Dedication  to  Joan,  Toddle  and  Tiny 

Hard  is  the  path  from  A  to  Z, 
And  puzzling  to  a  curly  head ; 
Yet  leads  to  books  green,  blue  and  red. 

For  every  child  should  understand 
That  letters  from  the  first  were  planned 
To  guide  us  into  Fairy  land. 

So  labor  at  your  alphabet, 

For  by  that  learning  shall  you  get 

To  lands  where  fairies  may  be  met. 

And  going,  where  this  pathway  goes, 
You  too,  at  last,  may  find,  who  knows  ? 
The  garden  of  the  singing  rose. 

Andrew  Laxg,   YeUmv  fairy  book 


ABBREVIATIONS 

This  list  is  intended  as  an  aid  in  the  selection  of  children's  books.  Fairy  tales  in 
rhyme  have  been  omitted  as  they  form  a  group  by  themselves  which  the  compiler 
hopes  to  undertake  later. 

Call  numbers  are  given  for  all  books  in  the  New  York  State  library  even  though 
the  edition  differs  from  that  described  in  the  list.  The  class  number  only  is 
given  for  books  in  the  extension  libraries,  while  books  in  the  traveling  libraries 
are  marked  '  Trav.  lib.'  followed  by  the  number  of  the  library  and  the  book. 

Books  maiked  e  have  been  personally  examined,  while  e  indicates  that  the 
edition  examined  is  not  the  same  as  the  one  entered  in  the  list. 

The  source  of  critical  notes  is  given,  whether  quoted  exactly  or  given  in  sub- 
stance: unsigned  notes  are  by  the  compiler.  Volume  and  page  numbers  are 
separated  by  a  colon  ;  e.  g.  3:145  means  vol.  3,  p.  145.  When  page  citations  do 
not  refer  to  the  edition  described,  the  edition  to  which  they  do  refer  is  indicated 
in  a  note. 

The  following  list  contains  the  principal  abbreviations  used.  Other  abbrevi- 
ations are  self-explanatory.
