This article presents information on several books. In the book "Prelude to Departure," by Sylvia Paul Jerman, because she combines a realistic understanding of human character with a power to capture the most evanescent moods of consciousness, Jerman has fashioned an absorbing and credible tale from a plot that might, in other hands, be too slender and exotic. Using the sensitive plant as hero, she has refrained from giving her hero the alibi of art. Meanwhile, the book "Cold Comfort Farm," is written by Stella Gibbons.
