The Story of Little Black Mingo. By the Author of
"Little Black &lobo." (James Nisbet and Co. is. 6d.)—It is with great pleasure that we welcome an introduction to Little Black Mingo, a near relation to that delightful gentleman, Little Black Sambo, whose history greatly enlivened a recent Christmas. Little Black Mingo is almost as diverting—almost, not quite, for from the nature of the case it is impossible that the second story should possess the virtue of absolute freshness and originality which distinguished the first. The nursery critic also, quoting with great profundity from memory and the "Jungle Boot," says : "It would have been very silly of the mongoose to eat such a lot of eggs, for you know Rikki said, A full meal means a slow mon- goose.'" Without going into these niceties of natural history, we may own to having derived great amusement from the . much-tried 'Mugger,' the mongoose, and the heroine of the story, and we hope that all the children of our acquaintance will . be lucky enough to have Little Black Mingo sent them as a Christmas card.
