More Really So Stories. PIctures by John Rae.

Octavo, green illustrated cloth (hardcover), full color illus. endpapers, 95 pp. From Foreword: Many of you remember the Boy Names Billy who spent a summer with Somebody in the north woods. Billy did not care for make-believe stories so much as he did for true ones. He was tremendously interested in the things that are really-so: how customs began, and what certain days mean, and why things are the way they are. So Somebody told him about them, and they were put into a book called The Really-So Stories that many of you have read. But the Boy Named Billy was like Oliver Twist: he wanted more. He was always wishing for more really-so stories. And Mom and Dad couldn't answer all his questions -- they had a few other things to do. So they throughout of the plan of asking Somebody to come and make them a good long visit while writing a new book, and just answer Billy's questions when it was perfectly convenient. It so happened that Somebody, who strange to say enjoyed answering questions anyway, was delighted with the idea. And so there were more really-so stories.
