fairy tale of the present day, in which the little

heroine pays visits to a number of woodland creatures, shares their confidences, and gives them such help as warning the lady- bird that her house is on fire, and teaching order and tidiness to the squirrels, besides other more exciting adventures. The black-and-white marginal illustrations are delightful, while the full-page coloured pictures are sufficiently subdued in tone to be pleasing.
