583. Through the Looking-Glass. By Lewis Carroll. (Macmillan) 6s.
It takes some cultivation to enjoy these wondrously droll compositions.
584. The Water Babies. By C. Kingsley. (Macmillan) 6s.
The same may be said of this. These are literature, though we are not sure whether ordinary school children would care for them.
585. Fairy Legends of the South of Ireland. By Croker. (Swan Sonnenschein) 5s.
These are some of the most delightful fairy tales in existence, told with an Irish humour that adds infinitely to their zest.
586. The Light Princess. By G. Macdonald. (Daldy) 2s. 6d.
Worthy to be old fairy tales.
587. The Little Lame Prince. By the Author of ‘John Halifax.’ (Macmillan) 4s. 6d.
Too beautiful and earnest not to be well worth reading.
