The Lost Half-Hour: A Collection of Stories

Here is a delightful collection of stories selected with discirimination from many sources -- stories to tell, to read aloud or to one's self -- that will give pleasure to all who love humor and adventure. From the droll title story by Henry Beston, through stories by Howard Pyle, Oscar Wilde, and Rudyard Kipling, as well as folk tales from many lands, the book offers a rich variety of fresh entertainment and age-old wisdom. As a perfect complement to the book, Enrico Arno, a distinguished artist, has made vigorous, imaginative drawings.
