This new volume is fully equal to its predecessors in point of interest, and is sure to renew the popularity of the entire series. ***Next to Miss Alcott's famous "Little Women" series they easily rank, and no books that have appeared in recent times may be more safely put into the hands of a bright, intelligent girl than these five "Queen Hildegarde" books.
