Old English Stories. By F. J. Harvey Darton. (Wells Gardner,
Darton, and Co. 1s. net.)—Here we have four stories from the Arthurian cycle, as " Sir Gawain and the Knight" and others from elsewhere.—The same publishers also send us Robin Hood and his Mon Men: Stories from Old Ballads, by Mary Macleod (18. net). Wo are glad to have the Knight, the Sheriff, Little John, and the rest introduced to us afresh by Miss Macleod.—The Nethcrleigh Children, by Evelyn Hunt (same publishers, 6d.), belongs to a series of "Stories for Children of the Church."— With these we may mention a pleasing little volume for quite young children, Tiny True Tales of Animals, Edited by Mary Macleod (same publishers, ls.) Dogs, of course, figure frequently in the tales; wo have cats, horses, and even bears. But the most amazing creature is a tiger who acted the part of a New- foundland, and saved two lads from drowning. Mr. Rountree's illustrations are good.—An old favourite appears again in the " Queen's Treasures Series " (G. Bell and Sons, 2s. 6d. net). This is Lob-Lie-by-the-Fire, and other Tales, by Juliana Horatia Ewing, Illustrated by Alice Woodward.
