Another child's book of the same sort, though more elaborate

and beautifully illustrated is Hidden Gold, a story of exciting adventure told in verse by Mr. A. K. Barker (John Lane. Os.). "The children now were brought before

The brigand pirate chief ; His name was Captain Crook, and he Was bad beyond belief."

--if you want to know what happens next you must buy the book. The literary tastes of the young are but little known. Our belief is that the fairies of the future will have to know something about wireless and motors in order to capture childish hearts, but this is only a theory : in order to test it we propose to publish from time to time reviews by children, such as those which appear on page 430 of this issue.
