ANNUALS. — The Boy's Own Paper in its thirty-ninth volume and the
Girl's Own Paper and Woman's Magazine, which is nearly as old (R.T.S., Is. Rd. net each), may once more be commended as attractive and wholesome reading for young people. The Boys Own has a good war-story about Russia, but it has also a school- story of the old type and much miscellaneous information such as boys love.—Chums for 1917 (Cassell and Co., Ss. net) is more sensational, but its stories of the war on land and sea, of pirates and of school-life, though highly coloured, are ingenious and will please children.—The Sunday al Home (R.T.S., 7s. (kl. not) goes on its old sober course and appeals to quiet people of all ages.-- The British Girls' Annual, compiled by the editor of Little Folks (Cassell and Co., 6s. not), is a collection of agreeable stories and articles which would make a suitable present for a young girl.-- Small children will be delighted with Ward, Lock, and Co.'s Wonder Book, edited by Harry Golding (6s. Od. net) ; the stories and pictures are first-rate of their kind.
