Rhymes for the Young Folk by William Allingham

All the children's good things are commonly crowded together at Christmas, when, to tell the truth, the " tasters " are so over. whelmed with work that they can hardly do their duty properly. This pretty volume, therefore, will not be unseasonable. Mr. Ailing. ham's verses are pretty, as, indeed, one might expect any from hie pen to be ; but we should have liked a little more spirit in them. The illustrations, more than twenty in number, suit the verses admirably. The names of the illustrators are Helen Allingham, Kate Greenaway, Caroline Paterson, and Harry rarities.
