who are
saturated with classic lore and who seek to translate the beings of
pagan mythology to the Australian bush. 'Gods and Wood Things'
contains both prose and verse--the latter rhapsodical, the former
mystical."

These stories are written in the same happy vein as "Bushland

_GEM OF THE FLAT: A. Story of Young Australians._
By CONSTANCE MACKNESS. With coloured and other illustrations and
decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. (_postage 2d._)
"Gem of the Flat" is a story of Australian bush children. The local
colouring is distinctly good; the children are alive, and talk like
real children; the incidents are natural and well described. The style
is fresh, the dialogue well managed, and the story as a whole is
interesting and pleasant, with a good tone about it.

_DOT AND THE KANGAROO._
By ETHEL C. PEDLEY. Illustrated by F.P. Mahony. Third edition, with
decorated cloth cover, 2s. 6d. (_postage 2d._)
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "'Dot and the Kangaroo' is without doubt one of
the most charming books that could be put into the hands of a child.
It is admirably illustrated by Frank P. Mahony, who seems to have
entered thoroughly into the animal world of Australia. The story is
altogether Australian.... It is told so simply, and yet so
artistically, that even the 'grown-ups' amongst us must enjoy it."
