The Youngest Girl of the School. By Evelyn Sharp. (Macmillan
and Co. 6s.)—In The Youngest Girl of the School Miss Sharp shows something of that understanding of the ways of large families that was the supreme gift of Miss Yonge. The Berkeley boys are numerous and overpowering. But each has his in& vidnality, though all are alike in their inability to understand why their much-bullied, and yet much-appreciated, only sister thinks it will be delightful to get away from them into a girls' school. The girls' school, which does not prove quite so heavenly a place as Baba expected, is as well described in its way as the houseful of boys. Altogether the story shows a wholesome and humorous grasp of life, and the book, which is in its primary intention a book for girls, may be read with amusement by older people.
