FOR LITTLE GIRLS
OVER THE HILLS: A BOOK OF VERSE FOR CHILDREN. Written by Nancy I. Harvey; illustrated by M. Lovell-Harvey Oswald-Sealy (N.Z.) Ltd., Auckland. HIS little book, we are assured in a ‘" covering note, has been written, illustrated and published in New Zealand. No doubt it has been, but that doés not make it an all-New Zealand book. Perhaps it was not intended to be, though jn that case it is odd to emphasise its New Zealand origin. It is, in fact, a "sugar and spice and all that’s nice" book for little girls anywhere, and the illustrator has decorated is accordingly. So Elizabeth, seeing the pretty "party" cover, said: "If I had that book for my own, I'd keep it in my best drawer." "I'd wrap mine in pink paper," said Pamela-Ann. Somebody knew what little girls are made of.
