THE LITTLE RHODESIAN. By Margaret Batchelor. (Milford. 3s. net.) One

of those stories for nice mild little girls. There is no plot, but the incidents in the life of a lonely little girl in Rhodesia are sympathetically described. There are some likeable cats and dogs in the story, and Gwenda eventually goes to live in Cape Town, where she finds life very much more varied.
