KATAWAMPUS : Its Treatment and Cure. By His Honour Judge E. A. PARRY. Illustrated by ARCHIE MACGREGOR. Second Edition, Cloth, 3s. 6d. press inotices. " " One of the very best books of the season." — The World. " A very delightful and original book." — Review of Reviews. " The general topsy-turveydom of the adventures in goblin- land makes very good reading. The book is one of rare drollery, and the verses and pictures are capital of their kind." Saturday Review. "We strongly advise both parents and children to read the book." — Gua rdian. "A book which will delight not only children but grown-up people as well." — Lancet. "A truly delightful little book Healthy, amusing to children of , all ages, and extremely skilful is this little story. It ranks high in the class of these rare works, and unless we are mistaken it will live long. It is choke full of the most laudable moral, and yet there is not a namby-pamby line in it from start to finish. One word we would say for the illustrator — namely, that his drawings are nearly worthy of the text, and that is high praise indeed."— i'a// Mall Gazette. " A tale full of jinks and merriment. We are personally willing to guarantee; that his tale will be as popular in twelve months' time as it is certain to be this Christmas." — Daily Chronicle. "The brightest, wittiest, and most logical fairy-tale we have read for a long time." — Westminster Gazette. " Its fun is of the sort that children revel in and ' grown-ups ' also relish, so spontaneous and irresistible is it." Manchester Guardian. "A delightful extravaganza of the 'Wonderland' type, but by no means a slavish imitation." — Glasgow Herald. " Since ' Alice in Wonderland ' there has not been a book more calculated to become a favourite in the nursery." — Baby. ,7
