1. Little Dick's Christmas Carols, and other Tales. By Amy Fowler. London: R. Washbourne, [London 1886
The authoress of the first book on the above list, Miss Amy Fowler, is now better known as "Sister Rose Gertrude," the volunteer nurse to the lepers of Molokai. Her little volume of tales for the young was published some four years ago, and was noticed at the time in our pages, but there are probably not a few persons who would now like to procure it for the sake of the writer, and we therefore mention it again. The stories themselves, six in number, are simply told, but with some pathos: they set forth the struggles of certain uneducated boys and girls to become good, and show the good that lurks within rough and unlikely exteriors, the waifs and strays of our city streets -- the young ones in whose welfare the self-sacrificing authoress took much interest. The narratives bring out, too, the elevating power of the Sacraments over such natures. "Little Dick's Carol," the title story, is pathetic, but "Tom White's Repentance" is the best of the tales; poor Tom is so very natural a boy.
