the prettiest child's story-book we have had since Alice in Wonderland. Like its famous predecessor, it is as readable and as intelligible by 'grown-up' people as by those to whom it is supposed to be addressed, and is flavoured by its author, Mr. Oscar Wilde, with pleasantest wit and most graceful humour.
