gather, started with a baTOOd grin to I*
perfectly ridiculouB, by dint of plllng
one Joke upon another. RJg hero, llill

children of old Crlspln, who has be

mushrooms that he wakes from hia
heavy slumber at the first rumble
whhh onu of them makes In breaklng

Mr. Dulac and Mr. Rackham, but we
believe they would all yield flrst place
to Mr. Roblnson as nn exemplar of
what we ran only descrlbc as the lov
able-impossible. His old men wearing
high hats are the grimmcst imaginable
"parties," yet you itnmediately want to
sit down beside th.m and to ask them
to talk. His children are fairy children,
and yet they are the chubbiest, most
artlessly engaging llttle heggars in the
whole world of nursery books. lt is
lmagination as well as skill that given
Mr. Roblnson his sway. He ls a
genulnely original illustrator. a rare
type. We are glad he has made B book
for himself. He has never made a
better one, and he will never beat this.
