The Countess Rinklespyn, and other Stories. By Helen Margaret Dixon.

(Cornish Brothers, Birmingham. Os.- net.)—Most of Miss Dixon's stories are fairy-stories, or, to put the case more generally, have an element of the preternatural in them. Though these things are exceedingly difficult to write, Miss Dixon has achieved a certain measure of success. They are well written, and will interest young readers or hearers. The illustrations by Miss Kate Marion Rathbone are good. The photographic lens has been used to excellent purpose, and with a happier artistic effect than is often attained.
