SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "A charming and interesting little book ...
they live and breathe, and he has contrived to make actual to us those remote and almost incredible days.... Mr. Smith's admirable ill.u.s.trations are an equally important feature of the book, which, in addition to its interest, presents a great antiquarian value."

By A.B. PATERSON. Ninth thousand, with picture cover (_Commonwealth Series_), 1s. (_postage 1d._)
SCOTSMAN: "The chief virtue of the book lies in its fresh and vivid presentment of the wild life and the picturesque manners of the Australian bush, while in form and style it claims recognition as a work of considerable literary distinction."

Collected and edited by A.B. PATERSON. Thirteenth thousand, with picture cover (_Commonwealth Series_), 1s. (_postage 1d._)

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "Mr. Allen is one of the select band who are saturated with cla.s.sic lore and who seek to translate the beings of pagan mythology to the Australian bush. 'G.o.ds and Wood Things'

These stories are written in the same happy vein as "Bushland Stories." Miss Mack's intense love of nature is reflected in all her books, and her readers, both young and old, are at once attracted by the natural ring of her work.

By CONSTANCE MACKNESS. With coloured and other ill.u.s.trations and decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. (_postage 2d._)
"Gem of the Flat" is a story of Australian bush children. The local colouring is distinctly good; the children are alive, and talk like real children; the incidents are natural and well described. The style is fresh, the dialogue well managed, and the story as a whole is interesting and pleasant, with a good tone about it.
_DOT AND THE KANGAROO._
By ETHEL C. PEDLEY. Ill.u.s.trated by F.P. Mahony. Third edition, with decorated cloth cover, 2s. 6d. (_postage 2d._)
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "'Dot and the Kangaroo' is without doubt one of the most charming books that could be put into the hands of a child.
It is admirably ill.u.s.trated by Frank P. Mahony, who seems to have entered thoroughly into the animal world of Australia. The story is altogether Australian.... It is told so simply, and yet so artistically, that even the 'grown-ups' amongst us must enjoy it."
_THE ANNOTATED CONSt.i.tUTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH._
