The Queen Arab Series. Illustrated by the Baroness Orczy and
Montagu Barstow. (Dean and Son.)—These are three pretty little fairy-stories, each in a separate volume, put together in an open case,—" Metka and the White Lizard," "Fairyland's Beauty,' and "The Enchanted Cat," all of which are most beautifully illustrated by vignettes after the style of those we see in Alphoze o Da.udet's works and those of his contemporaries. The drawings of human figures and various animals and insects are exquisitely finished, and together with the thoroughly Oriental character of the tales and the clear printing, make this little series a tru delight and pleasure to those who love a really pretty book. We have no choice but to recommend this case as a charming gif to a child. It is got up as fairy-stories should be got up, so as to form both a pleasure and an education to the youthful eye.
