227. May Cunningham’s Trial. (Cassell) 2s.

Interesting and spirited.

228. Pat. By Stella Austin. (Masters) 3s. 6d.

By far the best of Stella Austin’s stories, which are popular, but have for the most part the fault of admiring the children’s simplicity too palpably, and might foster affectation or self-consciousness.

229. Sidney Grey. By Annie Keary. (Warne) 3s. 6d.

A story of much excellence and reality.

230. The School-boy Baronet. By the Hon. Mrs. Greene. (Warne) 3s. 6d.

A young tyrant cured of his overbearing ways by seeing their exaggeration in lower life.

231. Cushions and Corners. By the Hon. Mrs. Greene. (Warne) 2s. 6d.

A clever story on angular and gentle tempers.
