Those Midsummer Fairies. By Theodora C. Elmslie. (Ward and Downey.)—A

certain spoilt boy, Sir Bernard Bentinck, drags his half-reluctant mother—a lady of fashion, but full of affection for her child—into the country. What he hopes to see there is fairies, what he does see is told in this volume ; a pretty story, nicely illustrated with photographs, which are certainly to be preferred to the indifferent pictures with which these tales are frequently furnished.
