The Chikken'e Party; or, a Day at Upland. By Cousin

Helen. (S. W. Partridge.)—At Upland Hall the nurse breaks her leg just before an intended children's party, which is in consequence postponed, and Cousin Helen tells them stories instead. Very nice little stories they are, and the verse is easy and flowing, though it makes no pretension to poetry. But the book is only suited for very young children.
