THE CAVE TWINS, THE SCOTCH TWINS, THE IRISH TWINS, THE
ESKIMO TWINS. By Lucy Fitch Perkins. (Jonathan Cape. Os. each.)
The Cave Twins is the fourth and latest volume of the charm- ing" Twin Series," of which half a million copies have already been sold in the United States and Canada. We should predict as great a success for the last as for the first. The pictures are good ; the letterpress is excellent. The authoress, having depicted the ordinary life of Scotch, Irish and Eskimo village children with much originality and pleasant realism, has set herself to spin out of her imagination the life of their prehistoric ancestors. Whether or no her creations are like cave-dwellers we cannot say, but she is guided by the few known facts. That they are like children of all time is certain, as certain as that they will amuse the English children of to-day.
