The author has endeavoured to write the book with the same clearness and simplicity of diction which characterizes her histories, and without descending to childishness, yet to be childlike—a distinction only too often lost sight of by those writing for children. A prominent feature in the work is the delightful series of drawings in colour by J. R. Skelton.
