TIMES.—“ This charm Mr. Hugh Thomson has admirably seized and expressed in
illustrations almost rivalling Caldecott’s in their quaint rendering of the humours of English
rural life.”

SATURDAY REVIEW.—“ The new illustrated edition of Miss Mitford’s Oz
Village is a book to charm the most fastidious of book lovers. Oxvr Vidlage is, of course,
a perennial among favourite books, and is likely, to charm many a coming generation in
whatever form it takes. A prettier form than this new edition it has not hitherto known.
Mr. Thomson’s expressive and humorous art has never been employed with happier results
than in this beautiful little book.”

GUARDIAN.—-“‘ Mr. Thomson is a prince among book illustrators, and more than
any other has caught the spirit of Caldecott. . . . Whether the reader prefers Miss
Mitford or her biographer he cannot fail to be happy with one or other of them.”

HOUSEHOLD STORIES. From the Collection of the BRos.

Grimm. ‘Translated from the German by Lucy CRANE, and done
into pictures by WALTER CRANE. Crown 8vo, gilt, or edges uncut. 6s.

ACADEMY.—“ Grimm’s tales are ever fresh. . . . Mr. Walter Crane we have always
liked best in black and white. He has here showered upon us a profusion of des‘gns in
his very happiest style. We doubt whether the children have ever had so much pains
taken for them before. . . . The smaller cuts—initials, head and tail pieces—are simply
perfect. Animals and birds, grotesque incidents, and arabesques are Mr. Crane’s special
province, in which he has no competitor.”

ATHENA UM.—“‘It is very readable, and the dialogue is always brisk and life-like.
Her choice, too, fell on some of the best stories in Grimm’s collection. What delightful
stories they are !”

SATURDAY REVIEW.—‘ Mr. Walter Crane has treated these immortal stories
as an old missal painter would have done his breviary or his psalter. Every corner is full
of Mr. Crane’s pretty and ingenious fancies. ‘The title-page itself is a study.”
