Travels in Dreamland. By Alfred C. Fryer. (Swan Sonnen- schein

and Co.)—Master Harold must have been a remarkably intelligent "boy of six," if he could dream, and, what is more, relate to his mother, on awakening, these very well-ordered visions. Not every child of that age could repeat the months in their succession. Harold gives, also, a set of appropriate ad- ventures in each. But if the machinery of this " fairy-tale " is somewhat unnatural, the tale itself is sufficiently lively and entertaining ; instructive, of course, but not too obviously so.
