Last season we published The National Review Treasury of Classic Children’s Literature —a lavishly illustrated book that featured forty-two delightful and wholesome children's stories from some of America’s best writers from a century past. We are now pleased to introduce The National Review Treasury of Classic Children’s Literature, Volume Two , with stories again personally selected by William F. Buckley Jr. Like the first volume, this collection contains dozens of stories from literary giants, many first published in St. Nicholas Magazine , the famous journal that established a golden age of children’s literature.In The National Review Treasury of Classic Children’s Literature, Volume Two , you will find: Mark Twain’s entertaining (but too-forgotten) Tom Sawyer, Detective ; Jack London’s exciting sea tale, "The Cruise of the Dazzler"; Louisa May Alcott’s "The Blind Lark" and the delightful "Daisy’s Jewel-Box and How She Filled It"; Frances Hodgsen Burnett’s exquisite "The Troubles of Queen Silver-Bell" and "The Cozy Lion"; Frank Baum’s "Aunt 'Phroney’s Boy"; two of Rudyard Kipling's famous Jungle Book stories, "The King's Ankus" and "Toomai of the Elephants"; and much more.
