This article focuses on several novels. Some of them are as follows: "The Pathways," by Henry Williamson. Williamson's recent novel has had to endure so much unthinking and rhapsodical praise, particularly from English critics who should know better. "The Coat Without Seam," by Maurice Baring. Reading "The Coat Without Seam" is like looking through an old postal-card album of Europe. Here are pictures of Constantinople with Turks still in national dress, glimpses of Saint Petersburg still with its Romanoff name and statutes, scenes from France before the U.S. invasion, and series of Rome without any gentlemen in black shirts posed before the ruins.
