Ride in the Red Hood. By the Lady Laura Hampton.

Illustrated by Tom Noges Lewis. (Simpkin and Marshall.)—For children who revel in the doings of fairies, Bide in the Red Hood will pro- vide some most circumstantial adventures in fairyland full of fanciful details and weird figures. Our author has spared no effort of imagination to create a multitude of fairy-beings who hold a brilliant court round their Queen Titania, and indulge in wondrous revels amongst the grasses and flowers when ordinary mortals are wrapt in slumber. The scenes are quite kaleidoscopic with colour and prismatic brilliancy. The drawings assist us in realising some of Eva's playmates during her visit to Dreamland, and should make the book a very pretty and fascinating one to children.
