GIFT BOOKS FOR THE SEASON .
An Antarctic Mystery . B y Jules Verne . Cheap edition , illustrated ( 2 s 6 d ) . —Sampson Low , 'Marston and Co ., Limited . THERE are three masters of the art of spinning yarns concerning this world of wonders— " Jules Verne , " Mr . Henty , and Mr . Clark Russell . Most boys would probably add " and the greatest of these is Verne . " For of all men who ever narrated that which
is wildly improbable in such a manner as to give it a plausible appearance Jules Verne is—facile princeps—master and chief . The volume before us is very typical of the leading characteristics of this prolific writer—his keenness of vision , his chatty narrative , his ability to see the main point in a tangle of details . The men in
this story are adventurous spirits who voyage into strange parts , take in . sail in a snow-storm , catch penguins for lack of better food , fix themselves up on an iceberg , and tell most extraordinary stories . We can promise young folks a few most pleasant hours if , during the festive season , they find an opportunity to read " An Antarctic Mystery '' in this new and cheaper edition .
The Chieftain and the Scout . A tale of the Frontier . By Edward S . Ellis . With four illustrations . —Cassell and Co ., Limited . A GLANCE at the frontispiece of this volume is enough to set one's mouth watering in expectation of good things to come . Nor will that expectation be disappointed ; for Mr . Ellis has really
considerable power as a writer of adventure , and boys will find this story acceptable enough as a change of diet , especially if they have been too extensively bestowing their attentions upon Mayne Reid and Fenimore Cooper . This volume does not pretend to be anything but a boys' book , but as such it is very well written , and is ,
moreover , written in a manner that should commend itself to parents . For while there is no lack of adventure , or even of " hairsbreadth escapes in the imminent deadly breach , " there is at the same time a very judicious care exercised as to the kind of adventure which is put forward as worthy to be sought and found . This is in every way an excellent gift book for a boy .
Jack Ralston or the outbreak of the Nauscopees . A tale of life ' in the far north-east of Canada . By Hampden Burnham , M . A . ( 5 s ) . —Thos . Nelson and Sons . MESSRS . NELSON , especially at Christmas time , know how to combine quantity with quality , and those who have had much experience with young folk will know that this is a great virtue in
their eyes . Jack Ralston is , for a book of its kind , exceptionally long , and it is therefore with the greatest pleasure that we find ourselves able to sdd that it is exceptionally good . The scene is the north-east of Canada , a land of snow and wolves and wig-wams , " a land where all things always seem the same . " How Jack Ralston repaired thither , how he passed his tims and how , in
whatever he did , he usually came out " on top , " we must leave readers to learn for themselves . Young folks are certainly much in luck ' s way now-a-days ; a few years ago such a present as " Jack Ralston " would have been regarded by the happy owners as something akin to the lady in Coleridge ' s poem , " a sight to dream of , not to tell . " The book is clearly printed on stout papsr and should be in great demand as a Christmas gift .
The Children ' s London . By Charlotte Thorpe . Illustrated by William Luker jun . —The Leadenhall Press , Limited . IT is not every day that a volume—or for that matter anything else—is too good for its purpose . This book must certainly be looked upon as bearing a too modest title , for this is not a children ' s book , but rather one which is calculated to tell even
educated adults a great deal which they did not know before . We can hardly conceive of a more serviceable volume , nor one which should impart its information in a more agreeable manner . The chapters on St . Paul ' s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey are well written and as well illustrated , and deserve more careful study than they are likely to usually get if many copies of this handsome volume are indeed destined to come into the hands of children .
Most of the illustrations are beautifully reproduced , indeed , the chief attraction in the eyes of most recipients will probably be in this direction . The older ones into whose hands " The Children's London" may fall will spend many a happy hour in renewing , their acquaintance with some of the haunts of their youth ; for the book is large and the number of spots described or illustrated is very great . Do not let the publishers sell out before buying your copy .
The Animals of -Ssop . yEsop's Fables adapted and pictured by Joseph J . Mora ( 10 s 6 d net ) . —Sampson Low , Marston and Co ., Limited . OUR old friend / Esop accompanies most men from the cradle to the grave . We learn his fables by rote from our motheis or nurses , and , in older age , we busv ourselves with the famous
dissertation in which Bcntley proved those fables to be spurious . We do not remember having seen so fine an edition as the one now before us . Not only are printing and cover such as befit a gift volume , but the many illustrations are marvellous examples of imaginative ingenuity , and would be well worth preserving in a portfolio by themselves . The publishers could not have clone more , for this . edition even with the assistance of Mr . Louis Wain , and
