A distinctly clever book, of a fresh conventionality.--_Academy._
_WYMPS: FAIRY TALES._
_With 8 coloured Ill.u.s.trations and decorated cover by Mabel Dearmer._
Of the stories it is impossible to speak too highly; they are true fairy literature, and the most exigent taste will be satisfied with them.--_Truth (London)._
[Ill.u.s.tration]
A FLY-LEAF POEM.
(_To a little girl with a story-book,--"Wymps," by_ EVELYN SHARP).
Here, in this book, the wise may find A world exactly to their mind.
From fairy kings to talking fish, There's everything such people wish.
Sweeter little maid than you Never read a story through.
Through a sweeter little book Little maid shall never look.
MR. WILLIAM WATSON in _The Academy_.
The simple brilliancy of the cover alone reveals something of the hidden delights of these charming new stories.--_Punch._
Quite the most gorgeously coloured book of the season. In a red, green, and yellow cover that puts to the fade even a French poster, and with most marvellous pictures, excelling even the cover, the volume must take a literally blazing place on a child's book-shelf.
"Wymps" has other attractions,--six, _original_ fairy stories. Now, originality is a rare thing in fairy stories, so that altogether we find the book unique.--_Literary World (Boston)._
