Sir Sleep - Awake and his Brother. By G. L Whitham. (Blackie

and Son. 2s. 6d.)—This is a story of the Crusades, with a some- what complicated plot. The author might have got his heroes to the scenes of their adventures in a simpler fashion. Perhaps it is a little cumbrous also in the telling, but there is no lack of adventure.
