Our Darlings. (J. F. Shaw and Co. 3s.)—This "Children's Treasury

of Pictures and Stories" appears for the thirtieth time. We congratulate the conductors on its success. If our memory serves us, it has made a considerable advance, notably in the matter of illustrations, since its beginning. We do not, however, care much for the coloured comic pictures.—From the same publishers we have also Little Frolic (2s.), meant, we imagine, though the distinction is not strongly marked, for somewhat younger children.
