Creating a public String field

I am being asked to create a public String field for one of the challenges. The task before was to create a public class called PictureBook. Step two of the task asks me to create a String called mTitle and to make it public

So far I have:

public class PictureBook { public String mTiltle () { } }

I have also tried to add a return statement but this also does not work.

PictureBook.java 
public class PictureBook{
  public String mTitle () {
    return mTitle;
  }
}

If you're just declaring a string you want

private String mTitle;

What you have written is sort of half string declaration and half getter method.
