CURRENT LITERATURE.
Little Folks, January. (Cassell and Co.)—This, the first number of a new series, promises well. Mrs. Moleavrorth, who has as skilful a pen in writing for the young as any author of the day, begins a new story, which, though as yet we see little more than the dramatis persona, reads as if it would be interesting. Another serial story is "The Bravest of the Brave," by the author of " Doddlekin." Mr. Frederick Langbridge begins, and begins well, a set of papers with the title, "The Happiest Half-Hoar : Sunday Talks." This first instalment has for its subject, " Mites ; or, Something for Jeans," and mingles humour and seriousness in a pleasant way. Another first instalment is "Little Stories of Earth and Sky," by Mr. Henry Frith, with a charming picture of a baby eagle. We must mention with special praise an admirable little "triptych," so to speak, " Baby- Boy : Three Scenes."
