Hugh Fraser. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.)—A story of provincial France in the days of the great Cardinal. The fate of the villain is sufficiently horrible to act as an awful warning to all readers.—How Many Miles to Babylon? By M. E. F. Irwin. (Constable and Co. 6s.)—The scene of this book is mostly laid in Cornwall and Ireland. The heroine is an attractive little person with a touch of a fairy changeling about her.
