Chatterbox (Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co., 3s. and 5s.) is
an old favourite which keeps up, both as to literary matter and illustrations, to its high standard of merit. This year it gives us two serial stories-one by Mr. Fred Whishaw, well known for his Russian tales, the other by Miss Edith Carrington, who keeps to her own speciality in "Nobody's Dog "-and a multitude of other good things.-From the same publishers we have also a meritorious periodical, The Prize (1s. 2d. and 2s. 6d.)-Other familiar names which we are glad to see again are Our Darlings (John F. Shaw and Co., 3s.); and from the same publishers, Sunday Sunshine, Edited by Catherine Shaw (1s. 6d.)-Louis Wain's Father Christmas (same publishers, ls.) gives us some excellent specimens of this artist's familiar humour.- Messrs. Sands and Co. send us a number of " Little Books" (Gd. each). Among these we see a miniature edition of Andersen's Fairy Tales; Wisdom for Women, with notes on household matters ; Knowledge for Little Folks ; and some of Louis Wain's inimitable pictures of animals.
