| Animal Autobiographies Edited by G. E. Mitton Each volume deals entirely with the life-story of some one animal, and is not merely a collection of animal stories. It is necessary to emphasize this, as the idea of the series has sometimes been misunderstood. Children who have outgrown fairy-tales undoubtedly prefer this form of story to any other, and a more wholesome way of stimulating their interest in the living things around them could hardly be found. Though the books are designed for children of all ages, many adults have been attracted by their freshness, and have found in them much that they did not know before. The autobiographical form was chosen after careful consideration in preference to the newer method of regarding an animal through the eyes of a human being, because it is the first aim of the series to depict the world as animals see it, and it is not possible to do this realistically unless the animal himself tells the story. | The life story of A Black Bear By H.

Tangerine:
A child's letters from Morocco. Edited by T. Ernest Waltham • Containing illustrations from photographs • Square Demy Octavo • Cloth • Price 3s. 6d.
"Tangerine," as the name implies, deals with Tangier, but not in an historical sense only, because the pretty title is the name given to the little heroine who describes, with open eyes of amazement, all the funny things and people she meets with while living in that strange Moorish country.
Her letters, and the many beautiful and unique photographs which illustrate them, carry one back to the Old Testament history times, and if the illustrations had not been from actual photographs, it would have been very difficult to have believed that the old, old customs could be seen to-day so near to our own country and unmixed with modern civilization.
The book will especially interest the young, because children love to have incidents of real life put before them when they have been seen through the eyes of another child; besides, tangerines' letters are full of quaint doings and little adventures which must appeal to them.

These volumes show that the happy idea has been very happily carried out." |

Swiss Family Robinson. edited by G. E. Mitton • containing twelve full-page illustrations in colour by Harry Rountree. Large square crown octavo cloth • gilt top • price 6s.
There's no friend like an old friend, and, among all schoolroom classics, "Swiss Family Robinson" is one of the oldest and best known. The present version is taken from one of the earliest of the English editions, and though a certain amount of unnecessary matter has been cut off to reduce it within reasonable limits, the slightly archaic flavour of the language has been retained.
Harry Rountree's illustrations in colour are really excellent, and make one wish it had been one's own privilege to meet the book for the first time in this guise.

The Children's Book of Edinburgh By Elizabeth W. Grierson
Containing 12 full-page Illustrations in Colour from Paintings by Allan Stewart Large Square Crown 8ve., Cloth, Gilt Top. Price 6s.
"There have been many books written about Edinburgh, but none which attempts to point out its attractions or explain its historical associations in the way this one does for the benefit of young people. The author comes down to the level of little folks; yet the style in which she writes will not repel older people… The volume is one which is certain to prove popular with little folk." — Scotsman.
The Children's Book of London By G. E. Mitton Author of several volumes in "The Fascination of London" Series edited by Sir Walter Besant Containing 12 full-page Illustrations in Colour by John Williamson Large Square Crown Svo., Cloth, Gilt Top. Price 6s.
"No better guide could our younger generation have. The book has been written so dexterously that a child of ten years of age will at once be attracted and be impatient to go on a voyage of discovery in that London of which it knows little or nothing beyond the fact that it is a very, very, big city. 'Pen Pictures of London' the bock might be called, and it will assuredly be in great demand at Christmas-time." — Morning Post.
The Children's Book of Stars By G. E. Mitton Author of The Children's Book of London With a Preface by Sir David Gill, K.C.B. Containing about 20 full-page Illustrations (11 in Colour) and numerous Diagrams in the Text Large Square Crown Svo., Cloth, Gilt Top. Price 6s.
"This book about stars stirs one to something like enthusiasm, because it is so obviously and so delightfully a book that ought to have been written, and a book that has been welt and lovingly written." — Tribune.
Children's Tales from Scottish Ballads By Elizabeth W, Grierson Containing 12 full-page Illustrations in Colour from Paintings by Allan Stewart Large Square Crown Svo., Cloth, Gill Top. Price 6s.
"The author has singled out her stories well. Black Agnace of Dunbar is a stirring piece of writing, and if it and the other stories do not fire the imagination of the rising generation, then we have surely become a decadent race… The illustrations are again by Mr. Stewart, whose colouring is beautiful." — Speaker.
