The Magic City, by E. Nesbit (Macmillan and Co., 6s.)

; and More about Jock, by E. K. Crawford (J. MaeLehose and Sons, 3s. 6d. net), are both stories hi which the children's real lives are diversified by thrilling dreams, and,-though there are plenty of adventures, they are never of a kind to frighten small readers.- This cannot be said of The Witch's Kitchen, by G. Young, Illus- trated by W. Pogfiny (G. G. Harrap and Co., 5.3. net). It is a well- told story, with many delightful touches, but we would warn our readers against giving it to a nervous child.
