The Making of a Prig Part 41

A distinctly clever book, of a fresh conventionality.--_Academy._

_WYMPS: FAIRY TALES._

_With 8 coloured Ill.u.s.trations and decorated cover by Mabel Dearmer._

Of the stories it is impossible to speak too highly; they are true fairy literature, and the most exigent taste will be satisfied with them.--_Truth (London)._

[Ill.u.s.tration]

 

A FLY-LEAF POEM.

(_To a little girl with a story-book,--"Wymps," by_ EVELYN SHARP).

Here, in this book, the wise may find A world exactly to their mind.

From fairy kings to talking fish, There's everything such people wish.

Sweeter little maid than you Never read a story through.

Through a sweeter little book Little maid shall never look.

MR. WILLIAM WATSON in _The Academy_.

The simple brilliancy of the cover alone reveals something of the hidden delights of these charming new stories.--_Punch._

Quite the most gorgeously coloured book of the season. In a red, green, and yellow cover that puts to the fade even a French poster, and with most marvellous pictures, excelling even the cover, the volume must take a literally blazing place on a child's book-shelf.

"Wymps" has other attractions,--six, _original_ fairy stories. Now, originality is a rare thing in fairy stories, so that altogether we find the book unique.--_Literary World (Boston)._
