Fair Folk of Many Lands. Told by Agnes M. Papa.

Illus- trated by Frank C. Papa. (S.P.C.K. 6s. 6d. net.)—This is a collection of folk-tales, beginning with the story of a knight of Brittany and ending with a modern English fairy story of a boy and a black kitten. Two of the tales are about the Dwells of the Maud of Riigen, but as they were long before Elizabeth's time we most forgive them for taking themselves very seriously. In fact, these legends are all rather grave, and reflect the wist- fulness of which there is generally a touch in the tales of "the old age." The illustrations are in black and white, with a coloured frontispiece.
