Dear Madam
I am sorry to say ‘The Mice at Play’ is gone out of print and I do not know how to recover it.

There are some nice plays for children by Miss Jenner called Terra Cotta plays published by Innes, and another set by Mr A Heathcote called Ragged Robin published by Allen. The second among the latter is good for little children1

yours truly
C M Yonge

1CMY was evidently consfusing Amabel Jenner, Half-hour Plays: Rumpelstilskin and Other Plays from Old Fairy Tales. Adapted either for the village school or the drawing-room (London: Smith 1889) and Constance M. Prevost, Terra Cotta Plays (London, Smith 1888). The other work mentioned is Arthur Malcolm Heathcote, Ragged Robin and Other Plays for Children (London: Allen 1890).
