Lucy May; or, The Cobweb Cloak. By Agnes G. Herberteon.

(Blackie and Son. 2s. 6d.)—A pretty fancy is well worked out. A little maid who is discontented with her lot is enabled by a magic cloak to learn what other lives are like. She is a shoe- maker's daughter, and she is a Princess ; so she learns that she may as well be herself. More than once we have some good verses, and the pictures by Miss Margaret A. Tarrant are decidedly attractive.
