Eii'die Land. By Margaret Hays and Thomas Burke. Pictures by

Grace G. Wiederseim. (Blackie and Son. 3s. 6d. net.)—Amusing verses written from the point of view of a little boy or girl. Most of the pictures are brilliantly coloured, and the children, besides having enormous eyes like Mr. Wain's cats, are also given very large heads.
