    From Messrs . "Ward , Lock , & Co . — ' The Story of the Ugly Duckling , after H . C . Andersen / by Marion M . Wingrave . This is a new version of

    an old story , told long since in rhyme , which , except for the two pretty little new verses of dedication , has hardly been improved upon by

    ; the present writer . The chief merit of the book is its * general get-up / which is excellent . The words are all printed in capitals , and every page

    has a well-drawn and brightly-coloured picture for its heading , illustrating the verses below . The cover has an appropriate ornamentation of

    ducks and swans , and the whole will form a charming Christmas gift-book for ' every loving

    little duck to whom it is dedicated .
