Gods and Heroes of Old Japan. By Violet Pasteur. Decorated

by Ada Galton. (Kegan Paul, Trench, and Co. 12s.)—These legend of the gods and heroes of old Japan make a fascinating book. The stories, taken from the sacred writings and ancient histories, are well told, and Miss Pasteur cleverly brings before us the strange Far Eastern outlook on life. Miss Galton's illustrations in the Japanese manner are extremely well done.
