The Tanglewood Tales. By Nathaniel Hawthorne. (J. M. Dent and

Sons. 5s. net.)—Another edition of this "Wonder Book for Boys and Girls" has appeared with twenty-four coloured illustra- tions by Granville Fenn. We cannot say that these illustrations are wholly to our liking : when the artist is dealing with men, as in the Philemon and Baucis pictures, he seems to succeed better than in his striving after the preternatural. It must be allowed, however, that Hawthorne's text, admirable as it is in its way, does not make the illustrator's task easier.
