excellent."--_The Spectator._
"A tasteful volume, and illustrated profusely."--_The Literary World._
"In this volume it has been the editor's desire to furnish a fresh
collection of fairy stories, written by authors who love children, and
know exactly the kind of tales that gives them pleasure. Something more
than providing enjoyment is attempted. Useful life lessons may be learnt
from the book, which contains a most interesting collection of fairy
stories, each telling its tale and pointing its moral in the happiest
manner."--_The Gentlewoman._
"It is certain to become popular."--_Yorkshire Post._
"Type and illustrations are worthy of the Hull Press, which is saying a
great deal."--_The News._
"The stories comprised in this volume deserve to be widely known and
appreciated. There are some excellent illustrations, and the whole 'get
up' reflects the highest credit alike on editor and publishers. It
promises to be one of the books of the season."--_Stamford Mercury._
