10. MIDDLE LIFE

11. JUNGLE TALES

[ocr errors]

By Sybil Campbell Lethbridge

Author of "The Sins of the Children," etc.

By Mrs. B. M. Croker Author of "Her own People." etc.

Mrs. Croker has already achieved a secure foothold in that temple of AngloIndian fiction whereof Mr. Rudyard Kipling is the high-priest. Her tales have a freshness and piquancy that are all their own. . . . So long as the author of 'Diana Barrington' can produce works of the quality of Village Tales and Jungle Tragedies,' she will assuredly not lack an audience."-Athenæum.

"A prettily got-up book containing seven Indian tales, well told with abundant evidence of a thorough knowledge of the country and its people. . . . There is not a dull line in the book, and in its perusal the desire for more keeps growing, even to the end of the last beautiful tale of Indian life."-Asiatic Quarterly. Review.

Wrapper in Colours. 1s. 6d. Net. [Postage 2d.]

The annual visit to the seaside is pleasurably anticipated by all members of the family, but more especially by the younger members; they enter a new world full of objects of intense interest.. Arriving there they, as soon as possible, make for the strand with spade and bucket, doff shoes and stockings, and wade in the pools, delighted if their advent disturbs any of the denizens of the pool, or some strange and beautiful form rewards their investigation of the nooks and crannies of the rocks. For the time the primitive instinct in the human being, the pleasure of the hunt, is in the ascendant, they are eager to capture, and when the prize is caught the parents have to pass a bombardment of questions about it which, alas! they in most cases, cannot answer. This is a pity, for here is the opportunity for true education of the children, and it is to help in this direction that this little book has been written.
