THE folklore and country legends of all nations are now ransacked by students for the entertainment of the nursery. No nation is too insignificant or too savage to supply amusing stories for English children. Before us lie a copy of such material— "Turkish Fairy Tales," collected by Dr. Ignacz Kunos, and translated by Mr. R. Nisbet Bain There is something rather attractively humorous in the idea of Turkey — the vilified, terrifying Turkey — furnishing fairy tales for the little ones of our own outraged nation! The stories offered by Mr. Bain are, perhaps, a shade too grotesque for the English mind, but they have interest for everyone.
