If you are not yet ten years old you will be sure to enjoy "The
Adventures of a Brownie." It is written by Miss Mulock, and is a
delightful tale of a most fascinating Brownie, who lived behind a
piece of coal in a dark cellar, but who ventured out occasionally
to tease, play with, protect, and amuse six merry little people. He
proved to be a kind and ever welcome friend to them, although he
was often naughty and played sorry tricks on careless people.

"Little Prince Fairyfoot," by Frances Hodgson Burnett, will prove
interesting to all lovers of fairyland, and all who enjoyed
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" will be sure to like "Davy and
the Goblin," by Charles Carryl.

You girls whose skirts have almost reached the tops of your boots
will find "Mrs. Overtheway's Remembrances," by Mrs. Ewing, very
interesting. "Unknown to History," by Miss Yonge, and "Number
XIII., the Story of the Lost Vestal," by Emma Marshall, are
slightly historical in character, and are stories of absorbing
interest, the one containing old English, and the other old Roman
characters.

For boys of a corresponding age, no book could be found more
enjoyable than "Some Strange Corners of Our Country," by Charles
Lummis. The book is comparatively a new one, and should be read by
every American boy and girl, as it describes some of the curious
customs of our great West, and explains many of the freaks of
Nature in this only partially known "New World."

Wishing the readers of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD a bright and happy
