"No better guide could our younger generation have. The book has been
written so dexterously that a child of ten years of age will at once be
attracted and be impatient to go on a voyage of discovery in that London
of which it knows little or nothing beyond the fact that it is a very,
very, big city. 'Pen Pictures of London' the book might be called, and
it will assuredly be in great demand at Christmas-time."--_Morning
Post._

"This book about stars stirs one to something like enthusiasm, because
it is so obviously and so delightfully a book that ought to have been

BY ELIZABETH W. GRIERSON
Containing 12 full-page Illustrations in Colour from Paintings by ALLAN
STEWART
_Large Square Crown 8vo., Cloth, Gilt Top. Price_ +6s.+
"The author has singled out her stories well. _Black Agnace of Dunbar_
is a stirring piece of writing, and if it and the other stories do not
fire the imagination of the rising generation, then we have surely
become a decadent race.... The illustrations are again by Mr. Stewart,
whose colouring is beautiful."--_Speaker._
