Suggestions

Magpie, the Autobiography of aNymph Errant, by Lois Vidal.

This is an interesting book concerning the wanderings of a highly neurotic young woman. Some of her adventures are hardly credible, but I think that you will find it amusing. Prof. W. K. Stewart liked it.

The Foundry, by Arthur Halper.

This is better than his novel UnionSquare because it has more unity, and is, on the whole, better written. It concerns workers at a foundry, and is written from a semi-proletarian point of view. Interesting. It bewitched Sinclair Lewis. Recommended by Prof. Malcolm Keir.

Broome Stages, by Clemence Dane.

This is a novel of a few years ago that you may have missed, by the author of A Bill of Divorcement. It is a long novel, written with charm and skill, concerning the history of a theatrical dynasty in England during the 18th century. Highly recommended by Natt Emerson '00.

Still Dead, by Ronald Knox.

Ronald Knox is a brilliant young churchman. This is the story of the wayward son of a Scottish laird who is killed on the eve of a hurried departure. Was his death caused by the family curse? Because of the insurance? Of the will? Father Knox writes exciting narrative, and through it all there is a vein of quiet fun.

East Again, by Walter Harris.

Mr. Harris, who died just after this book was written, was for almost forty years Morocco correspondent to the London Times. He knew the East from Tangier to Shanghai, and this book recounts his last trip on which he met Mr. Owen Lattimore, who reported to me that Mr. Harris was as delightful as his book. Recommended to all who like excellent travel books.
