This article presents information on several books. The books include "Rogue Herries," by Hugh Walpole. Walpole's latest is a long novel oddly compounded of historical characters and events, various branches of an imaginary eighteenth-century English family, and, in greater detail, one offshoot of that family, a rogue. The volume has such a full-bodied look about it that one might well hope for a fine, hearty English novel. The Rogue is a brooding, even Werther-like soul, who in middle life finds salvation through love of a gipsy, red-haired waif, and through his arduous but unsuccessful efforts at tilling the soil with his own hands.
