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." * * * * * _BUSHLAND STORIES._ By AMY ELEANOR MACK. Second edition, with coloured illustrations and decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. (_postage 2d._) ACADEMY: "It is not often that we have the pleasure to welcome from Australia a book of so many charming short stories as are contained in the volume before us." SCOTSMAN: "Charming and simple nursery tales, appetisingly touched with local colour of the Bush." BIRMINGHAM DAILY POST: "There is a daintiness and distinct charm in these fairy tales." * * * * * _SCRIBBLING SUE, AND OTHER STORIES._ By AMY ELEANOR MACK. With coloured and other illustrations and decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. (_postage 2d._) These stories are written in the same happy vein as "Bushland Stories." Miss Mack's intense love of nature is reflected in all her books, and her readers, both young and old, are at once attracted by the natural ring of her work. * * * * * _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." * * * * * _THE ANNOTATED CONSTITUTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH._ By Sir JOHN QUICK, LL.D., and R.R. GARRAN,
