Animals in Fun-Land. (James Clarke and Co. le.)—The drawings are

by Mr. Louis Wain, who is worthily backed up by artists of the same temper—H. B. Neilson, Elsie Blomfield, and others. We may mention Mr. Louis Wain's "Lively Time" and "Waiting for a Bite," Mr. Neilson's " Goosetown Gossip " and "Shopping," and Mr. Dixon's "Mousey Town Concert." But all the pictures are good. The words will serve their purpose sufficiently well. This is realty the more difficult task of the two, the verse being much harder than the prose.
