The Enchanted Forest. By Violet Bmdby. Illustrated by Gordon Browne,

R.I. (Milford. 3s.. 6d. net.)—This is an excellent story, told with Miss Bradby's accustomed cleverness and charm. She knows well how to draw distinct and interest. log characters, whether of little girls or of the fantastic creatures who live in enchanted places, and she tells us convincingly of the strange adventures that befell Susan and Diana while they and their families were under a wizard's spell. There is an atmosphere of romance about this book that is somewhat unusual in modern fairy tales, but which is very welcome when we are lucky enough to come across it. The book has a pretty coloured frontispiece and a number of good black-and-white illustrations.
