Two old favourites, though differing not a little from each

other, may be mentioned together,—Wonder-Book for Boys and Girls, by Nathaniel Hawthorne (Osgood, McIlvaine, and Co.), a book otherwise known as " Tanglewood Tales," and containing the classical stories of Pandora, Midas, Philemon and Baucis, &e. ; and The Favourite Book of Nursery Tales, containing such well-known tales as "Hans in Luck," " Snow-White and Rose-Red," " Blue Beard," and " Puss in Boots." The illustrations to the Wonder- Book are particularly rich.
