The Everlasting Animals, and other Stories. By Edith Jennings. Pictures
by Stuart Bevan. (Duckworth and Co.)—This is a good specimen of a child's book. The stories are brightly written, with plenty of conversations in them, and the print is clear. There is a friendly goblin in one of them who tells Jane how to get inside a book, an accomplishment that other people might be glad of sometimes. Mr. Bevan's full-page pictures are quaint and their colour is good.
