Three Old Favourites. With 36 full-page coloured illustra- tions by

Frank Adams. (Blackie. 6s. net.)—Mr. Adams's pictures are always clever, and this year he has given as some very amusing examples of his delightful art. Each Page is full of interesting detail, as well as of bold outline. Some- times the three-colour process is unkind to the artist, but most el the illustrations are only pleasingly bright. The rhymes are "Jack Sprat," " Tom the Piper," and " The Frog who would a-wooing go," and the queer people and all the lively animals are put before us with great spirit.
