SUGGESTIONS
February 1938

THIS LIST OF suggestions is taken from one hundred books given recently by the Hon. Lewis Parkhurst '78 to the Baker Library, also donated by him, at the Norfolk State Prison Colony, in Norfolk, Mass.

Van Wyck Brooks: The Flowering ofNew England. This has already established itself as one of the finest books in contemporary American criticism.

Amelia Earhart: Last Flight.

Max Eastman: Enjoyment of Laughter. Mr. Eastman is the man who had the honor to be knocked over a desk by the Mr. Hemingway. The title is apt.

Peter Fleming: News from Tartary. A travel book by one of the bright young men. Good, too.

Philip Guedalla: The Hundred Years. Palatable history.

Desmond Holdrige: Escape to the Tropics.

Delia Lutes: The Country Kitchen. This book will remind some of the men of home and mother.

Hudson Strode: South by Thunderbird. This author once wrote a good book on Cuba. This is an excellent book on the country further south.

Alexander Woollcot: Second Reader. A popular anthology, edited by the sage of Broadway.

Dr. Cronin: The Citadel. Kenneth Roberts told me that he wouldn't mind this book crowding his own Northwest Passage out of the top place in the best seller lists, which means that it's good.

Liam O'Flaherty: Famine. Critics on both sides of the Atlantic acknowledge this to be his best book. An honest tale of Irish history.
