OPINIONS OF

*¢ Ayaddin, Ali Baba, Sindbad, and
other old friends, are turned into
Japanese heroes, and their adventures
represented in brilliantly - coloured
pictures in the style of Japanese art.
Children cannot fail to be charmed
with the clear outlines and bright un-
shaded colouring.” —Guardian.

“The pictures, whether or not
literally the work of ‘native talent,’
are ‘drawn in the true Eastern spirit;’
and, as all things Japanese are now
the fashion, should be certainly popu-
lar.""—Spectator,

“‘One of the most mirth-provoking
volumes we have seen for many a
day. . . The poetical descriptions
of these old-world but ever fresh
legends are excellently well done, but
the pictures are inimitable for fun and
graphic power.”— Zhe /rish Echo.

 

THE PRESS—Continued.

‘©The artist who illustrated Alad-
dix has studied Japanese art to some
effect. He has succeeded in turning
out a clever and brilliant series of
pictures, which even the Mikade
would regard with approval.” —/uz.

“Without undertaking to say that
there is much of the true Eastern
spirit to be found in these pictures,
yet we will allow that they are bril-
liant enough, and afford an agreeable
change from the true Western spirit,
which has for years been set forth in
the illustrations of these stories,”’"—
Saturday Review.

‘“These are good books : pleasant
to examine and also to read. ee
An original and agreeable book of
coloured prints, perhaps the only veri-
table novelty of the season.”—Art
Fournal.
