"THE RUNAWAY PRINCESS"
(Ward, Lock, and Co., London and Melbourne.) Is it a boys' book or a girls' book, this new one of Isabel Maud Peacock's? A boy's, I think, but so full of Sun is it, ana adventure, and strange things, that anybody, boy or girl, will love the reading of it.: The tale is set in early New Zealand, at a time when the white settlers lived half in dread of the still-savage Maoris. How a small white child is kidnapped by a great Maori chief, and how, years later, her two brothers determine to trace and rescue her, makes a terribly exciting story. Early New Zealand is written up with a cunning interweaving of fact and fiction by Isabel Maud Peacock, and the result is a thoroughly readable book.
