Story Land. By Sydney Grey. Illustrated by Robert Barnes. (Religious

Tract Society.)—Here are various stories of country life of various kinds, some relating some little incident of ordinary life, some, as " The Wayward Chicken," a little in Hans Andersen's style, but all gracefully told, and skilfully suggesting, rather than pointing a moral. The drawings are very pleasing. " Bertie," taking the portrait of "Master Bray," strikes us as being especially good.
