A NATURE STORY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.



We have received from Messrs. Witherby & Co. a book entitled

“The Changeling.” It is from the pen of a well-known naturalist, Sir

Digby PiGOTT, and describes the adventures of the hero, a small boy with

a love for natural history, who, under fairy guidance, proceeds to the haunts

of birds and beasts, himself changed into one of them, and has many

thrilling adventures.


The book is delightfully written, and the habits of the creatures

dealt with are faithfully portrayed; it is also well illustrated and will prove

a great delight to all boys and girls who are fond of natural history. It can

be obtained from Messrs. Witherby & Co., 326, High Holborn, W.C. for 2/6.
