Bravely Won, Stories by G. Manville Fenn and others (J.
F. Shaw and Co., 3s.), is a collection of tales which range, in their subject- matter, over a considerable space of time and country. Robin Hood, Napoleon, British soldiers in India, detectives from Scotland Yard, adventurous persons in German forests, and we know not how many others contribute to give variety and colour to these tales. There are some good illustrations.—From the same publishers we have also Sunday Sunshine, edited by Catharine Shaw, and with useful reading in it to which no one could take exception ; and, especially intended for the little ones, Little Frolic (2s.), with humorous verses and pictures. On a larger scale and with a somewhat more ambitious appearance is Our Darlings (52.) The Robin Hood stories do duty, we see, here also. There is a choice of other matters, and there is much merit in the pictures.
