Miss Lavender's Boy, and other Sketches. By Amy Le Veuvre.

(R.T.S. 2s.)—These eight sketches are touched with the power and feeling which we are accustomed to find in Miss Le Feuvre's work. They are in various tones,—now the note is of sadness, now of cheerfulness. The first sketch, from which the volume is named, is a tale of self-sacrifice ; " What the Wind Did" is a story of true love; "David and the Giant," though serious enough, has a touch of humour in it.
