Camp-fire Tales. Illustrated by Edwin Noble. (T. Nelson and Sons.

6s. net.)—The hunters of big game write books for their friends and for one another; extracts from their works, describing particularly exciting adventures are here collected for their sons, nephews, and grandsons. The book gives short accounts of desperate moments in the lives of past explorers such as Sir Samuel Baker, and of more recent mighty hunters, Mr. E. N. Buxton, Mr. Selons, and Mr. Roosevelt for example. A few more are contributed anonymously. Mr. Noble's blood-curdling pictures are a little crude here and there.
