The Adventures of Diletto, a Little Exiled Prince. A Fairy
Tale. By S. L Emery. (Dean and Son.)—The story of a little spoiled prince who once tried to kill a white rabbit, and was in consequence carried off into Fairyland ; was banished first to Greenland, then to Iceland, and then to Arabia ; being miserably cold in the first country, plunged into the Geysers in the second, and the prey of desert robbers in the third ; but always under the eyes of a fairy who wished to teach him a lesson, who finally restored him to his parents, and let him marry the white rabbit. Of course the white rabbit is a little princess in disguise, and the fairy tale is a moral tale in a disguise that is even flimsier. Yet it has its merits, and when placed in the hands of the contemporaries of the little prince will probably answer its purpose.
