Tales of Happy Common. By Agnes C. Herbertson. Illus- trated

by Lilian A. Covey. (Dean and Son. is. 6d. net.)—This is a story of a meddlesome little creature called Bc-Wee, told with the rhythmical reiteration liked by children and grown-up people, too, for it is pleasantly soothing, and makes no great demand on the attention, while the listener enjoys the little triumphs of sometimes forestalling the reader's words. The illustrations are bright and attractive.
