The Wooing of Master Pox, by Edward, Lord Lytton (Rout-

ledge), is a delightful—and delightfully short--story of the rivalry of the fox and the dog, who are both wooers of the cat. How Reynard endeavours to outwit the dog, and how, with the aid of a griffin, he is ultimately circumvented, the young reader will find told, and all within the compass of little more than sixty pages. The illustrations are as humorous as the letterpress.
