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.

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.
