CACKLES AND LAYS

RHYMES OF A HENWIFE. By Margaret Lavington.
With numerous Illustrations by Helen Urquhart.
Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.

If Ann and Jane Taylor had lived in the twentieth century and taken to keeping poultry for profit in war time, they would probably have had a laudable desire to inculcate the principles and practice of hen-keeping among the young. But unless they had developed an unexpected sense of humour they wouldn't have produced anything like "Cackles and Lays," for while some of Margaret Lavington's rhymes are practical and sprightly, others are just delightfully whimsical and humorous.


POEMS OF WEST AND EAST

Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.

THE RHYME GARDEN

By Marguerite Buller-allan. With Pictures in Black and White and Colour by the Author.
Crown 4to. 3s. 6d. net.

An unconventional book for children in that it is illustrated in what seems at first sight a conventional childish manner, but behind the apparent crudity there is real art and colour of the kind that will appeal to all children and all grown-ups who love children.

Henry Chappell has long been widely known as the railway-porter poet of Bath, and many of his poems have been published in the press, and not a few set to music. His famous poem, "The Day," was printed in practically every newspaper in America. The present volume, however, constitutes the first publication of his work in a collected form.


OUR GIRLS IN WAR TIME

By Joyce Dennys. With Topical Verses by Hampden Gordon.
Crown 4to. 3s. 6d. net. 2nd Edition.

This is a companion volume to "Our Hospital A B C."

Morning Post: "Once again these clever collaborators play up to the cheery souls on the Western Front, and their new consignment of the munitions of merriment will be even more sought after than the first volume. This Christmas the Dennys Girl will become as well established as the Gibson Girl."


ODES TO TRIFLES, and Other War Rhymes

Poems by R. M. Eassie (Sergt. 5th Canadian Infantry)
Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.

The Times: "Humorous verse, by a member of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, in which every stanza gets well home; written with a refreshing air of conviction and a real wit which scintillates the more sharply because not a word of it could be spared."


FLOWER-NAME FANCIES

Designed and Written by Guy Pierre Fauconnet.
English Rhymes by Hampden Gordon.
Crown 4to. 2s. 6d. net.

A charming series of drawings illustrating in a delightfully quaint and delicate manner the popular nicknames of many flowers, both in French and English.

Each drawing is accompanied by an explanation as quaint as itself, in French and English, the latter in rhyme by Hampden Gordon.

JOHN LANE, The Bodley Head, Vigo Street, W.
