"Had any one ever been disinclined to believe in Mr. Crockett's genius,
he must have recanted and repented in sackcloth and ashes after
enjoying 'Sweetheart Travellers.' It is the rarest of all rarities,
and veritably a child's book for children, as well as for women and
men. It is seldom, indeed, that the reviewer has the opportunity of
bestowing unstinted praise, with the feeling that the laudation is,
nevertheless, inadequate. 'Sweetheart Travellers' is instinct with
drollery; it continually strikes the softest notes of tenderest pathos,

"A more delightful book for young, old, and middle-aged, it is scarcely
possible to conceive."--_Truth_.

"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_.
"Grimm is always delightful, but in his present new dress he is more
delightful than ever. Mr. Gordon Browne charms us always with his
dainty pictures."--_Guardian_.

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
