Wee Folk, Good Folk : a Fantasy. By Ethel M.

Wilmot-Buxton. (Sampson Low and Co.)—This " fantasy" is written with much grace and power of fancy, and though scarcely suitable for children, whose likings are decidedly materialistic, will certainly be appreciated by elder readers of taste. The illustrations are usually good, though somewhat unequal; the face of the child, for instance, on p. 29 wants finish. Nor do we admire the " Snow Queen," on p. 65. But the fox on p. vii., the lattice- window on p. 1, the tail-piece on p. 5, and the design at the beginning of " Glimpse the Second," are meritorious. They are the work of Miss Florence M. Cooper.
