Those who admired _Honoria's Patchwork_, published last year, will be glad to be again in her delightful company, surrounded by her friends, to be interested again in her household duties, her cultured conversation and views on books, pictures, and kindred subjects, and to once more sojourn for a time in her charming Homemead. _A Coat of Many Colours_ will be found to be as fresh, as sincere, and as intimately personal as the _Patchwork_, and will be fully illustrated by reproductions from charming photographs. _AN EDITION DE LUXE, WITH COLOURED PLATES, OF_ =THE FIELDS OF FRANCE.= By MADAME MARY DUCLAUX (A. MARY F. ROBINSON ). With Twenty Illustrations in Colour by W. B. MACDOUGALL. Crown 4to, 21_s._ net. It may be justly said that Madame Duclaux's book on rural France has become a classic. Its interest and value was in no way ephemeral, for in it Madame Duclaux gives the sense of that wonderful world of out-of-doors which seems fading from the horizon of the modern town-dweller. "The little book," said the _Daily Telegraph_, "presents a perfect gallery of pictures, a sort of literary complement to Corot and Millet." It is a book eminently suited for illustration, and Mr. MacDougall spent a long period in the districts dealt with in the volume in making a series of artistic paintings which are reproduced by the best colour process. Unlike many such books, the paintings were done to illustrate the text and not the text written to the pictures. _THE WIT AND WISDOM OF DICKENS_ =THE BOZ BIRTHDAY BOOK.= Compiled by J. W. T. LEY, Secretary of the Dickens Fellowship. Containing an Index to Subjects and a Portrait of Dickens. Crown 8vo, 3_s._ 6_d._ net, cloth; in leather, 5_s._ net. In compiling this Dickens Birthday Book, Mr. Ley's aim has been to combine usefulness with ornament. That is to say, every quotation expresses some sentiment on some phase of life, on men or things, and with the aid of the Subject Index appended, the volume forms a useful reference book of Dickens quotations. The source is invariably given, and when the sentiment is given expression to by a character, the name of that character is added. Two quotations are given for every day in the year, and the book is a compendium of Dickens's wit, humour, and pathos. _ANDREW LANG ON 'EDWIN DROOD'_ =THE PUZZLE OF DICKENS'S LAST PLOT.= By ANDREW LANG. With Illustrations by LUKE FILDES, R.A. Crown 8vo, 2_s._ 6_d._ net.
