“Tell Me a Book to Read”
Some of the Season′s Novels We Think Best Worth While
The White Monkey, by John Galsworthy (Scribner’s). Fine by itself, and continues his “Forsyte Saga” to the present time.
The Little French Girl, by Anna Douglas Sedgwick (Houghton, Mifflin). The pleasant love story, Anglo-French, that is Best-Selling.
A Passage To India, by E. M. Forster (Harcourt, Brace). A foaming-up of India’s race hate, pictured with searching skill.
The Green Hat, by Michael Arlen (Doran). Champagne stuff, sweet but worth drinking, about a light-o’-love and her playmates.
Sard Harker, by John Masefield (Macmillan). Wild tropical adventure, “unworthy of Masefield,” but—try to put it down!
The Old Ladies, by Hugh Walpole (Doran). As quiet and unpretentious as its title, and Walpole’s best novel.
The Cask, by Freeman Wills Croft (Seltzer). For detective story fans.
The House of the Arrow, by A. E. W. Mason (Doran). The first detective story with a gimcrack plot that we have ever liked.
SHORT STORIES
Tales of Heresay, by Joseph Conrad (Doubleday, Page). Four, all admirable and easy to read; you needn’t be a seasoned Conradian.
The Short Story’s Mutations, by Frances Newman (Huebsch). Sixteen well-chosen stories illustrate her brilliant theory.
BIOGRAPHIES AND THINGS
Mark Twain’s Autobiography (Harper). Haphazard recollections and discursions. Much junk, with much pure gold.
A Story-Teller’s Story, by Sherwood Anderson (Huebsch). A lifetime full of day-dreams, most artistically remembered.
Will Rogers’ Illiterate Digest (A. & C. Boni). Not as funny as seeing and hearing him; top of the humor heap, nevertheless.
Marbacka, by Selma Lagerlof (Doubleday, Page). Her story of her youth. Charming, if books ever get to be.
Letters from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles (Scribner′s). A side view of T. R. through his own eyes, especially good.
Memoirs of an Editor, by E. P. Mitchell (Scribner’s). Dana’s Sun “shop” and much more. An ideal book to dip in.
