H<%7C72/7/7-«.s' <7/* told and ilius-
trated by W. HEATH RouiNSON (London : Grant

book. The story is good, while the ihustrations are
particuiarly powerful, being not oniy fuii of genuine
humour, but exceedingiy weii drawn and effective.

In infantiie circles the U<?///w<y is now an acknow-

Mr. John Lane (London and New York) has
issued a new edition of that delightful book, Z?7-c<!:777
ZZay.f, by K.ENNETH GRAHAM, which inciudes
some very clever iiiustrations in photogravure, from
drawings by Mr. MAXFIELD PARRisn. It is a
book to buy and to preserve. In H Z?<777M77<rc <7/*
/Zc A^<7-jc7y, Mr. L. ALLEN HARKER treads some-
what ciosely in the steps of Mr. Kenneth Graharn;
but he is no piagiarist, his work being singuiariy
fresh and wholesomely unconyentional. The book
deserves a great success.
Mrs. DEARMER is best known for her quaintly
extravagant illustrations of such books as " A
Noah's Ark Geography" and " Roundabout
Rhymes." ZW/yy Fc«7-j (London : Smith, Elder &
Co., price 6y.) is in a more serious vein than this
author's previous work, though humour is by no
means wanting, and the story of Robin and Toby
will not fail to win the hearts of the junior public
to whom it is intended to appeal. In the illustra-
tions EvA Roos proves herself apt and skilfu) in
the use of lead pencil, and her drawings have been
well reproduced.

Messrs. Charles Goodall & Sons have just
published some playing cards from designs by Mr.
FREDERICK D. WALENN, in which a praiseworthy
and successful effort has been made to produce
something which will serve an artistic as well as
a commercial purpose. Mr. Walenn has drawn
inspiration for his designs from various Japanese
sources, and has carried them out as far as
possible in the style of coloured prints. They
should become popular with those who desire a
pleasant change from the cards in common use.
