is gone into very fully. This leads to a chapter on Confirmation 

 and one on First Communion, with the preparation necessary for 

 each, A special point is made of the need for keeping hold on the 

 lad after his Confirmation, and means to this end are fully discussed. 

 The last chapter deals with special cases, with soldiers and sailors, 

 and with boys who have moved away to live elsewhere. The whole 

 book claims to be a record of methods which have been put to the 

 test of experience, and the Bishop of Gloucester, under whom the 

 Author served at Leeds Parish Church, contributes a Preface. 



THE LITTLE WIZARD OF WHITE 

 CLOUD HILL. 



By Mrs. F. E. CRICHTON, 



Author of ' Peei'-in-the- World." 



With Illustrations. Crown ^vo. ^s. 6d. 



This story, chiefly intended for young people, centres round the 

 attractive personality of a little boy called Basil, whose happy and 

 adventurous doings can hardly fail to delight both children and 

 ' grown-ups.' 



White Cloud Hill is the entrance to the land of Far-away, a 

 \vonderful fairy region of Basil's imagination, which he loves to visit 

 in his dreams. His adventures begin when he goes to stay with 

 Cousin Marcella, a stern lady who has had an unfortunate quarrel 

 with his father, and whom Basil has always thought of with 

 alarm. The visit, however, has the best of results, for Basil, by his 

 irresistible charm, effects such a happy reconciliation between his 

 elders that he earns the very name which he would have most 

 desired for himself — ' The Little Wizard of White Cloud Hill.' 



The thread of seriousness woven into the story does not interfere 

 w'ith its charm of freshness. The Author's handling of all her 

 characters is most sympathetic, and she shows a wide understanding 

 of children and their ways. Her pages, moreover, are full of little 

 things about children, such as children love. A capital book for 

 reading aloud or reading to oneself.
