Sixpence.
Warne. .25

The little boy and girl king and queen are fascinating to real little
boys and girls, and it is pleasant to be sure from the pictures that
they liked the same things that children like to-day.

The Fairy Ship.

One of Mr. Crane's best. The duck captain and mouse sailors are
utterly captivating.

"There were fifty little sailors
Skipping o'er the decks;
They were fifty little white mice,
With rings around their necks."

Shall have a Coach to take the Air._

PICTURE-BOOKS

Summer fading, winter comes--
Frosty mornings, tingling thumbs,
Window robins, winter rooks,
And the picture story-books.
. . . . . . . .
All the pretty things put by,
Wait upon the children's eye,
Sheep and shepherds, trees and crooks,
In the picture story-books.
STEVENSON.
