Preface

Practically every idea in this book is original, although there are a few old favourite games in new dresses, and many of these, together with the Story Competitions and Plays, have been published in various daily and other periodicals. This is the first time, however, that they have been presented in book form, and I trust readers will enjoy them as much as they enjoyed my previous book.

V. C. Alexander.
