Max, Fritz, and Hob. By C. R. Coleridge. (National Society.)—

We can hardly imagine a story that will give children greater pleasure than this, dated as it is from the Tudor period, though the scene is laid in the Bavarian Highlands mostly, with an old castle buried in forests as a delightful background to the history of some young people. The friendship between Max and his queer little cousin is something very fresh, and, we may add, touching. The young baron, Max, is a charming and dignified character, and the book, older readers will find, is not without that charm and happy description that we always expect from Miss Coleridge. We can heartily recommend Max, Fritz, and Hob to every one.
