The Bad Family, and other Stories. By Mrs. Fenwick. (Grant

Richards. Is. 6d.)—This delightful, old-fashioned child's book is edited by Mr. E. V. Lucas. To say that is the same thing as to assure our readers that it is worth reading, for no man has a better taste in the children's book of sixty and seventy years ago than Mr. Lucas. Did not he revive for us the inimitable Mrs. Turner ?
