LUCAS'The quality of the poetry of the Misses Taylor has been praisedby such great judges that any praise from ourselves would besuperfluous. No other writers of children's poetry have written ofchildish incident with all the child's simplicity.'—Spectator.'Mr. Bedford's illustrations are not only very well drawn, butinspired by just the right feeling. It may be added, that theTaylors were really the founders of a school. They gave a form andcharacter to nursery verse which have become classic, and havebeen followed more or less by a long line of laterwriters.'—Standard.'Thanks are due to that delicate lover of literature and ofchildren, Mr. E. V. Lucas, for reprinting this veritableclassic.'Times of India.Large Crown 8vo. printed on superfine paper, cloth boards, gilt top, 6s.; calf, 10s. 6d.Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co., Ltd., LondonIllustrated by F.

R. CROCKETT'It is the rarest of all rarities, and veritably a child's bookfor children, as well as for women and men. It is seldom, indeed,that the reviewer has the opportunity of bestowing unstintedpraise, with the feeling that the laudation is, nevertheless,inadequate. "Sweetheart Travellers" is instinct with drollery; itcontinually strikes the softest notes of tenderest pathos, and itmust make the most hardened bachelor feel something of thepleasures he has missed in living mateless andchildless.'—Times.'A more delightful book for young, old, and middle aged, it isscarcely possible to conceive.'—Truth.'We confess to having fallen under the spell of these delightfulchronicles.
