_ Little need be said as to this re-issue of _Wood Magic_. It was originally published in two volumes, post 8vo, by Messrs. Cassell & Co. in 1881, and re-issued by them in one volume in 1882. The present edition is reprinted from the original edition. The frontispiece and vignette are drawn by the accomplished lady who chooses to be known as E. V. B., whose illustrations to the _Story Without an End_ charmed many boys and girls years ago, and I hope still fascinate their children.
