value is enhanced by scores of
well-drawn and carefully executed pictures. One of the most popular
gift-books of the season."--Record.

"Handsome and most interesting."--Times.

"Will form an admirable present for the young."--Queen.

"A charmingly written series of chapters on natural history. A reader of
the book will be instructed without knowing it."--Scotsman.

"No more delightful book can be cited among the writings of its lamented
author."--Saturday Review.

"A nicer book for boys than this it would be hard to
imagine."--Spectator.

"Few writers have done so much to familiarise boys and girls with the
simple facts of natural history as Mr. Wood, for he always painted the
inhabitants of fields, forests and rivers from actual eye-witness, and
pressed home his lessons by cheery anecdotes sure to be
remembered."--The Graphic.
