by Gordon Browne, R.I. Large crown 8vo, cloth boards, gilt top, 6s. "It is distinctly the best Christmas book of the season."--Daily Mail. "When we say it is one of the most delightful stories about children we have ever read, we are still short of the mark."--Daily Chronicle. "In every way excellently got up."--Christian. "In this excellent book for children, which the elders will enjoy, Mr. Crockett comes right away from kailyard into a kingdom of obstreperous fancy, and is purely, delightfully funny, and not too Scotch. The wit of this feat of fancy, which cannot be described, and does not belong to any order of juvenile literature, unless we take Mr. Crockett as the founder of one, is over the heads of children in many instances, but they do not know it.... Mr. Gordon Browne's illustrations are as good a treat as the story; they realize every thought and intention of the writer, and are full of a sly and characteristic drollery all the artist's own."--The World.

"No more acceptable edition of some of Grimm's Stories has been published."--Standard. "Altogether delightful. The illustrations are full of charm and sympathy."--Saturday Review. "A fairy book beyond reproach."--Graphic. Prince Boohoo and Little Smuts. By the Rev. HARRY JONES, M. A., Prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral. With numerous Illustrations by Gordon Browne, R. I. Large crown 8vo, printed on superfine paper, bound in fancy cloth boards, gilt top, 6s. "Really good nonsense, not at all copied from Mr. Lewis Carroll. Admirably fresh and inspired by a quite delightful _insouciance_."--Spectator. "Will charm the more qualified critical reader by its mingled gravity and whimsicality. It is not all sugar-plums; there are nice little bits of satire in which the Rev. Harry Jones is easily recognizable."--The World. National Rhymes of the Nursery. With Introduction by George Saintsbury, and numerous Illustrations by Gordon Browne, R. I. Large crown 8vo, printed on superfine paper, bound in art linen boards, with gilt
