How Dick and Molly Saw England. By M. H. Cornwall - Legh.
(Edward Arnold.)—Mr. Eastwood is a most obliging father. When Aunt Jemima, thinking of the interests of his children, says to him that it is a shame that they should know so much about other countries and so little about England, he proceeds to rectify matters by taking them what Molly, writing without restraint—oven the restraint of grammar—calls " a toor through England in the hollidays." So they have a very happy time of it in London and Oxford, the New Forest and the Midlands, up Snowdon and through the Lakes. Perhaps there are a trifle too many accidents, hairbreadth escapes, and successful experiments in the saving of life for ordinary belief. Yet these incidents give piquancy to a book which may be described as "geography made easy " but not made inaccurate, as Mrs. Cornwall-Legh has clearly done her beat to verify her facts.
