"'The New Fairy Book' is the title of a richly bound volume containing fifteen fairy tales, edited by William Andrews. The tales are brimful of such fairy romance as youthful readers delight in. Fairy kings, queens, princes, and princesses, pass in bright procession through the pages, everyone of which presents some delightful picture from the imaginative pen. The scenes amid which these fairy personages move are not the less beautiful, and from first page to last there is not to be found a single dull or uninteresting page. The tales have been judiciously edited, and worthily fulfil the editor's aim to 'furnish a fresh collection of fairy stories written by authors who love children.' Very many young readers will warmly thank him for so faithfully performing his loving task."--_Dundee Advertiser._
