“Mr. Hendry sees the world as children see it, and he writes
charmingly and musically about it; many, indeed most, of his verses
are delightful in all respects--childish, but not silly; funny,
but not foolish; and sweet without being goody. Miss Woodward’s
designs are just what the verses require, and they are carefully and
delicately drawn and exquisitely finished after nature; consequently
they are beautiful.”--_Athenæum._

HENDRY. With 70 humorous Illustrations by GERTRUDE M. BRADLEY. Square

invention.”--_Spectator._
