* * * * * _Wells Gardner, Darton & Co.'s Popular Books._ Sweetheart Travellers. A Child's Book for Children, for Women, and for Men. By S. R. CROCKETT. With numerous Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE, R.I., and W. H. C. GROOME. Large 8vo, printed on superfine paper, cloth boards, gilt top, 6s. A LARGE-PAPER EDITION, numbered and signed by Author and Artists, net, 31s. 6d. "Had any one ever been disinclined to believe in Mr. Crockett's genius, he must have recanted and repented in sackcloth and ashes after enjoying 'Sweetheart Travellers.' It is the rarest of all rarities, and veritably a child's book for children, as well as for women and men. It is seldom, indeed, that the reviewer has the opportunity of bestowing unstinted praise, with the feeling that the laudation is, nevertheless, inadequate. 'Sweetheart Travellers' is instinct with drollery; it continually strikes the softest notes of tenderest pathos, like some sweet, old-fashioned nursery melody, and it must make the most hardened bachelor feel something of the pleasures he has missed in living mateless and childless."--_Times_. "A more delightful book for young, old, and middle-aged, it is scarcely possible to conceive."--_Truth_. Fairy Tales from Grimm. With Introduction by S. BARING-GOULD, M. A. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE, R.I. Large crown 8vo, printed on superfine paper, fancy cloth boards, gilt top, 6s. "No more acceptable edition of some of Grimm's Stories has been published."--_Standard_. "Altogether delightful. The illustrations are full of charm and sympathy."--_Saturday Review_. "A fairy book beyond reproach."--_Graphic_. "Grimm is always delightful, but in his present new dress he is more delightful than ever. Mr. Gordon Browne charms us always with his dainty pictures."--_Guardian_. Prince Boohoo and Little Smuts. By the Rev. HARRY JONES, M.A., Prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral. With numerous Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE, R.I. Large crown 8vo, printed on superfine paper, bound in fancy cloth boards, gilt top, 6s. "Really good nonsense, not at all copied from Mr. Lewis Carroll. Admirably fresh, and inspired by a quite delightful insouciance."--_Spectator_. "Will charm the more qualified critical reader by its mingled gravity and whimsicality. It is not all sugar-plums; there are nice little bits of satire in which the Rev. HARRY JONES is easily recognisab
