chieved. It
is certainly a book to be read, for it would be
a pity to miss the many exquisite passages it
contains.'

THE DAILY MAIL.--'Mr. Grahame's book will bring
youth and joy into many a jaded heart.'

THE HEADSWOMAN

THE BOOKMAN.--'Mr. Grahame's cleverness does not
forsake him when he attempts satire. "The
Headswoman" is a pretty bit of foolery.'
