A BOOK OF FAIRY TALES retold by S. BARING GOULD With numerous illustrations and initial letters by ARTHUR J. Gaskin. Crown 8vo. Buckram. 63.

'The stories are old friends-Cinderella, Bluebeard, the Three Bears, and so on—in a new dress of simple language which their skilled reviser has given them. They make a delightful collection, and Mr. Gaskin's illustrations have a beauty all their own, a beauty which some will judge to be beyond the appreciation of children, but a child is sure to be interested by these pictures, and the impression they give cannot but have the best effect in the formation of a good taste.'-Scotsman. 'Mr. Baring Gould has done a good deed, and is deserving of gratitude, in re-writing in honest, simple style the old stories that delighted the childhood of “our fathers and grandfathers." We do not think he has omitted any of our favourite stories, the stories that are commonly regarded as merely "old-fashioned." As to the form of the book, and the printing, which is by Messrs. Constable, it were difficult to commend overmuch.-Saturday Review.

'A most splendid and fascinating book on a subject of undying interest.

It is brilliantly written, and the illustrations are supplied on a scale of profuse magnificence.'-Daily Chronicle.

"The volumes will in no sense disappoint the general reader. Indeed, in their way, there is nothing in any sense so good in English.
