DEAR MR. EDITOR: 

I have a book by the name of “In Mythland.”  I like it so much that I thought I would write and tell you about it, so as other children seven years old like me would know of it, and could read it.  Mother reads THE GREAT ROUND WORLD to me every week, and I like it very much.  Mother is reading me a book called “Hans Brinker; or, The Silver Skates.”  A story of life in Holland.  By Mary Mapes Dodge.  My book has many pictures of Holland in it.

                                Yours truly,
                                             THEODORE S.K.
    321 WEST 82d STREET, February 15, 1897.

BOOK REVIEWS.

A new book has been sent us, entitled “Three of Us.”  The title is explained by the cover, which gives the bright faces of three fine dogs—­Barney, a bull-dog, Cossack, a wolf-hound, and Rex, a St. Bernard.

The book has 327 pages, and tells the stories of the three dogs—­the last one, Rex, telling his own “autobow-wow-ography.”

It is written and also illustrated with many drawings by Izora C. Chandler, and published by Eaton & Mains, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

The other day a number of letters were shown us which had been written about this book by some bright little people of Hanover, N.H.

The book was given to the school, and one of the teachers read it aloud to the scholars.

This pleased them so much that they each wrote a letter to the lady who had made the gift.  We publish one of these letters: 

    “My Dear Mrs. Richardson: 

    “It was very kind of you to give the book, “Three of Us,” to the
    school.

    “I enjoyed Barney and Cossack very much.  I was interested in Rex
    also.

“Barney was very interesting because he did so many brave deeds.

“I liked Cossack because the little boy’s kindness to the dog
saved the life of his own father.

“If I were to have a dog I think I would like Barney.

“I thank you very much for the book.

“Yours sincerely,
“EMMA M. HALL.”

THE GREAT ROUND WORLD prize has been won by Miss Harriet W. Mygatt, age eleven years, No. 32 Sidney Place, Brooklyn, N.Y., who will please send the name of the book she wants.

Her selection of the important articles of commerce is very good, and the simple way in which they are marked on the map is also worthy of praise; for while perfectly distinct, the topographical features of the map have not been obscured.  The map will be exhibited in the office of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.
