Ashmorlands. By Winifred Boggs. (Herbert Jenkins. 7s. 6d. net.)—The story

of a family founded by an Admiral who in the eighteenth century built a house to his fancy which resembled a ship low down in the water. The Ashmorlands, both family and house, are portrayed in a romantic and attractive manner, and the three fairylike triplets, though they are curious descendants of so stalwart a figure as the Admiral, are fascinating.
