THE CROCK OF GOLD. By James Stephens. Crown 8vo. 5s. net.
EVENING STANDARD.--"A delicate fairy extravaganza, difficult to
class with any other book. It has extraordinary flashes of beauty,
any amount of whimsical humour, and ends in an ecstasy that has
about it a touch of Borrow and a note from the very flute of Pan."
PUNCH.--"A fairy fantasy, elvish, grotesque, realistic,
allegorical, humorous, satirical, idealistic, and poetical by
turns ... and very beautiful."
FOLK TALES OF BREFFNY. By B. Hunt. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.
SPECTATOR.--"Wholly delightful volume.... These folk-tales are
rich in the qualities of poetry, wit, and intelligence, and though
the part which Miss Hunt has played is not that of a creator,
her versions are marked by such unfailing charm, such happy and
characteristic turns of phrase, that she deserves to rank with
those musicians like Francis Korbay, who have lent fresh lustre
to folk tunes by the beauty and picturesqueness of their settings."

8vo. 4s. 6d. Also with 32 Illustrations in Colour by Warwick

MORNING POST.--"As a faithful mirror of Bengali beliefs by
no means extinct, they can be cordially recommended to lovers
of supernatural romance. Mr. Warwick Goble has provided them
also with charming illustrations, in which the lines and folds
of Eastern drapery, the blues and greens of forests and skies,
together with the dignity and simplicity of the figures, make up
an enchantment which few will be able to resist."
PAPUAN FAIRY TALES. By Annie Ker. Illustrated. Extra Crown 8vo.
5s. net.
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.--"Some of the charm of the stories is without
a doubt due to the charm of Miss Ker's manner of retelling the
tales; but she had fair material to work upon, and the volume,
with its photographic illustrations of native life, is quite
delightful, and will interest general readers as well as
specialists in folk-lore."
