TUSCAN FAIRY TALES. Taken down from the 

 Mouths of the People. By VERNON LEE, Author of 



" Belcaro," " Studies in Italy," &c. 



" Sumptuously printed and prettily bound," ATHEN^UM. 



"The work will delight the little ones as well as the student. Charm- 

 ingly got up and illustrated." LONDON REVIEW. 



" A thoroughly delightful book. We trust that the author may be 

 pursuaded to publish the other tales which he has collected on the same 

 ground. If they at all resemble the present collection they will, we are 

 quite sure, be heartily welcomed." WESTMINSTER REVIEW. 



" The amount of local colouring is just sufficient to lend the old tales 

 a new charm. The illustrations and the letterpress are printed in sepia, 

 which has a curious but not unpleasing effect." SATURDAY REVIEW.

MERICAS AND OTHER STORIES. By CLEMEN- 

 TINA BLACK. 



"We reviewed two of these stories when they appeared in the 

 University and in the New Quarterly magazines. Our favourable opinion 

 of them is strengthened and sustained by the additions in the present 

 volume. The title story is quaint and happily conceived. More than 

 this, it is a delicate and gentle love tale, full of tender interest, and 

 fraught with pretty turns of thought most charmingly expressed. The 

 volume is one which most men will read with pleasure (for it is a 

 mistake, which authoresses are apt to fall into, to suppose that the 

 inferior sex delights in the works of Ouida and Rhoda Broughton), 

 because it is one which may be placed in the hands of their wives, sisters, 

 and daughters without the slightest hesitation.'" DERBY MERCURY.

POEMS BY MAY PROBYN. 



" Miss Probyrf s small and modest volume displays much brightness 

 of fancy and sweetness of feeling, united with excellent metrical science 

 . . . Perhaps we shall give the best idea of Miss Probyn's manner 

 by quoting one of her bright and picturesque pages, taken from the 

 quaint poem called ' Soapsuds ' : 



" ' Her arms were white as milky curds ; 

 Her speech was like the song of birds ; 

 Her eyes were grey as mountain lakes 

 Where dream and shadow stirs and breaks. 

 Her gown was print her name was Sally 

 Her summer years were barely twenty * 



She dropped the soap to glance and dally- 

 And then the dimples came in plenty !
