'The three little children in Miss Hawker's story go to visit their grandfather's up-country station, and there they find King Merino, an old stockhorse, Tiddley Mouse, and several other very interesting folk who lead them into scrapes or get them out of them, as the case may be. Following an excellent fashion, and one much to be commended where the prose writer can also turn a deft line of verse (the two gifts do not always run sideby side), little songs and rhymes are interspersed with the stories.'
