The Adventures of a Dodo. By G. E. Farrow. (T.

Fisher Unwin. 3s. 6d.)—Mr. Farrow has found a new kind of extrava- ganza wherewith to please young readers. The humour mainly

lies in the quaint contrasts between the old and the new, as when the Dodo takes his young friend to what used to be called "The Palace of Henry VIII. and Cardinal Wolsey," and finds it to be a barber's shop. , (For " the Strand," by the way, we should read Fleet Street, for the place is on the eastern side of Temple Bar.) The illustrations are quite in accord with the spirit of the text.
