Shorter Notices
Hawkins, Desmond | June 10, 1939 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on two books "Hawk Among the Sparrows," by Desmond Hawkins and "The Rising," by Myrtle Johnston. "The Hawk Among the Sparrows" is a slender tale of a small group of people living together in an ordinary middle-class household in a provincial English town. The story itself is so slight, the plot so attenuated, that the novel is merely a distended short story. "The Rising!' well bears out the promise Johnston gave with "Hanging Johnny," which was written when she was still in her teens.
