The Child's Fairy Library is a republication of the best

fairy tales, in small thin square volumes, each one complete in itself; and embellished with a great many pretty wood-cuts, designed in an elegant style by the French artists who have illustrated Gil Bias and Don Quixote so cleverly. In these days of knowledge- cramming, lively fictions that awaken the imaginative faculty of children arc more welcome than ever. The appearance of this work will gladden the nursery and the school-room.
