The Owl Sing, and other Fairy Tales. By H. Escott.Inman.

(F. Warne and Co.)—Mr. Escott-Inman has written some very charming fairy tales, which will be welcomed with delight by many children. All the stories are good, but we prefer "The Owl King" and "The Magic Pearl." The names used through- cut are well chosen, and the titles of the stories attract atten- tion. "Bold Bad Bang," the story of a Christmas cracker, ought to interest any child.
