Little Wide - Awake, edited by Mrs. Sale Barker (Rontledge and Sons),

is another welcome visitor at this time of year. " When I was a Little Boy" has a little French lad for its hero, and will interest young English readers in manners and customs not their own. Then there is a " True History " by Jeanie Hering (Mrs. Annie Acton), " The Adventures of a Perambulator," a series of fairy-tales intended " for very little people," says the editor, but which will probably please others also, and a series of papers on " Wild Flowers."
