CHILDREN'S BOOKS.

Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. By Graham Robertson. (John Lane. 'Is. 6d.)—Mr. Graham Robertson has given us another delightful book, and children and grown-up people will rejoice in these three "Pageants for a Baby Girl." The first is one for Twelfth Night, in which the three Wise Men of the East appear with symbolical gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and the two others are masques in which the author takes us for a while into the company of the fairies of garden and wood. The illus- trations, of which there are twelve in colour, are excellent examples of Mr. Robertson's work. The colour and details are clear and delicate, and the general effect broad and harmonious.
