Miss Baylor’s charming and “ower true” tale has formed (_though only given in part_) the chief attraction of the “St. Nicholas” for a year, and in its present and complete form will be heartily welcomed, most of all by those who have already learned to love its little hero and heroine, and will eagerly look for the full story of their adventures.
The _locale_ of these events, amid the romantic scenery of Northern Mexico and Western Texas, is brilliantly and accurately described, with the ways and habits of the Texans, Mexicans, and Indians. With these are the records of the young hero and heroine, in and beyond the Cañon of Roses, and their numerous strange and diverting adventures, making a volume of rare and permanent interest for young or old.
_Translated by John Dimitry. With 175 Pictures by Gustave Doré and Anton Robida._

“The present beautiful edition of an amusing book cannot fail to amuse thousands of little ones, who perhaps in these days are growing tired of ‘Gulliver’s Travels,’ ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ and ‘The Arabian Nights.’”—_The Week._
“Coleridge classes Rabelais with ‘the great creative minds, Shakspeare, Dante, and Cervantes.’ In ‘Three Good Giants,’ children, young and old, will find a story which will vie in delightful interest with ‘Robinson Crusoe.’ The adventures of the hearty, good-natured old king Grandgousier, his son Gargantua, and his grandson Pantagruel, all of them mighty heroes and doers of wonderful deeds, will be read and re-read with ever-increasing enjoyment. In paper, printing, and binding, ‘Three Good Giants’ is everything that a choice holiday hook should be.”—_Washington Transcript._
