The Doyle Fairy - Book. (Dean and Son.)---The contents of this book

will probably be known to most of our readers. But we may remind them that the familiar "Jack and the Bean-Stalk," "The White Cat," and the like are not among them. The stories are less familiar. Doyle's admirable illustrations, just the things suited to the subject, need not be commended again. Mr. F. G. Green gives some information about the origin of the stories, and there is a memoir of the artist.
