The Cinematograph Train, and other Stories. By G. E. Farrow.

With Illustrations by Alan Wright. (R. Brimley Johnson. 5s.) —Mr. Farrow drops his" Wallypug" vein this Christmas, and takes his readers on a trip to Fairyland in a cinematograph train. The dodo reappears, and has a party in the last story ; a charm- ing little Prince Eddie is chased by a horrible dragon in one chapter, and in another Lady Betty goes to Earl's Court and makes an Arctic expedition on a monster called" Cold-Snapdragon," whose anatomy as represented in Mr. Alan Wright's picture takes our fancy very specially. The mixture of old features of fairy-tales with modern inventions of ingenuity is clever and amusing.
