A Story of Stops. By Mrs. Davidson. (The Leadenhall Press.)

—This is a book full of quaint fancy, with a moral delicately insinuated. Molly, one of a pair of twins, falls under the power of two sinister creatures called Gauks, or, in ordinary language, becomes ill-tempered and morose. How she is to be delivered from their influence, restored, that is, to her old cheerful and contented state of mind, is the problem which her fellow-twin, Angel, has to solve, and which she does solve by her courage and goodness, after going through a variety of surprising adventures. The illustrations are appropriate to the book, and not inferior to it in merit.
