DRAWING BY HAROLD NELSON FROM “A REAL QUEEN’S FAIRY BOOK” (NEWNES)
books which he so
deservedly enjoys.
Queen Mads Fairy
Fealm (London:
George Newnes), is a
collection of stories
from the literature of
England, Germany,
France, and Spain,
with numerous illus-
trations by H. R.
Millar, Reginald
Savage, Herbert Cole,
Garth Jones, and
Arthur Rackham.
The collection of
stories is an excellent
one, and contains
manynewto England.
Rou7id the World to
Wympland (London:
John Lane) is a book
of original tales of un-
usual merit, the pic-
torial embellishment
of which has been
worthily carried
out by Alice B.
Woodward. The
Boy's Odyssey, by
Walter C. Perry
(London : Macmil-
lan), is inspired by,
and partly founded on
the translation of the
Odyssey of Homer, by
Messrs. Butcher &
Lang, and to which
the author hopes it
will serve as a stepping-stone. Mr. Jacomb Hood’s
drawings are characteristically good. God Save
King Alfied., by the Rev. E. Gilliat, M.A.
London: Macmillan) is a story taken in part from
the “ Saxon Chronicle,” which should help to revive
the interest in the great King of Wessex, whose
millenary has been celebrated this year. The illus-
trations by Gutzon Borglum add to the value of
the book and help to make it an acceptable
present to a boy. A Nest of Girls (London and
Edinburgh : Chambers) is a story of boarding-
school days in America, by E. Westyn Tim low.
It is thoroughly bright and healthy in tone and
deserves to be equally popular on both sides of
the Atlantic. Messrs. W. & R. Chambers have
also secured the services of two of the most
accomplished writers for children in England
—L. T. Meade and Mrs. Molesworth, and
the results of their labours are in every way suc-
cessful. Cosy Corner, by the former, is well illus-
trated by Percy Farrant, while the short stories con-
tained in Mrs. Molesworth’s “My Pretty ” and Her
Brother “ Too ” are rendered additionally attractive
by a number of pen-and-ink drawings by that
accomplished illustrator, Mr. Lewis Baumer. The
Soul of a Cat, by Margaret Benson (London :
Heinemann), is a charming collection of stories of
cat-life strung together in a pleasant fashion.
The illustrations in pen-and-ink, by Henrietta
Ronner, are quite fascinating little studies,
