OLD FARM FAIRIES. A Summer Campaign in Brownieland
against King Cobweaver's Pixies. By Henry Christopher
McCook, D.D. With 150 Illustrations. Crown 8vo,
cloth, 5s.
"The story tells of a war between the Brownies and the spiders, and will interest a child by the oddity and strangeness (greater than a purely imaginative writer could conceive) of the devices of strategy and warfare to which the spiders resort. The illustrations to the book are partly fanciful, partly true to the nature of spider life.... A story so fresh in its idea, and so well worked out, is sure to please a young reader, and to lend a peculiar attraction to the study of natural history."—Scotsman.
